Play audio through earpiece and speaker?

Is it possible to play audio through the earpiece and speaker on an iPhone 11? I’ve noticed that when you’re on speaker phone it uses both the regular speakers as well as the earpiece to output audio. It would be nice to get some forward facing audio when watching videos.

There are two speakers on iPhone. The earpiece speaker and on the bottom of the phone to the right of the lightning port is the second speaker. Both should work when music or videos are playing. When you said regular speakers, there is only one speaker on the bottom. To the left of the lightning port is the microphone. It is not a speaker.




They should both play automatically.

Okay then, is it possible to play audio out of both speakers instead of just the one bottom one?
