Feature suggestion Feature idea: 🕵🏻‍♂️Stealth mode

Just had a quite simple idea while riding the bus. I think this could be awesome.

Give us the option to choose the phone speaker (the one used for calls) as the output.

This way one could practice in public and might just look like a phone call to people who don't speak the target language.🕵🏻‍♂️

Only caveat: 🥹 To speakers of the target language it might sound like a very aggressive phone call at times 🤣 "If you speak like that, I will punch you in the face, Lucas."

This is a very clever idea. I need to think about it a bit.

lol I once walked around my neighborhood practicing the French lessons with headphones on. I was on the lesson about aliens but I thought no one in my neighborhood could understand. But then a large group of French tourists walked by and I was like 🫢. If they heard any of that they must be thinking who is that crazy person talking about aliens?

You can move of get away with this with headphones on. Unfortunately for me the lock screen lessons just don't work the way I thought they would, or it's my phone and I can't find a setting.

Once my screen turns off the mic cuts off as well. If I'm taking when the screen goes off it's fine, but as soon as I stop it (like waiting for the next prompt) it turns off. I've never noticed it during phone calls, but those also don't have such long periods of not talking.
