1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a communication unit configured to acquire information related to an other-party apparatus; and
at least one processor configured to receive input of a voice signal output from a first voice input unit, wherein
the electronic apparatus and the other-party apparatus are capable of communicating with each other with voice/message converted communication in which first voice input to the first voice input unit is converted into a first message and the first message is displayed on the other-party apparatus,
the at least one processor determines execution of the voice/message converted communication, based on the information,
the at least one processor causes a first sound output unit to output voice,
the other-party apparatus performs processing using a voice signal output from a second voice input unit,
the other-party apparatus causes a second sound output unit to output voice,
the electronic apparatus and the other-party apparatus are capable of communicating with each other with phone communication in which second voice input to the first voice input unit is received in the other-party apparatus, the second voice is output from the second sound output unit, third voice input to the second voice input unit is received in the communication unit, and the third voice is output from the first sound output unit,
the at least one processor determines the execution of the voice/message converted communication based on the information while the phone communication is performed between the electronic apparatus and the other-party apparatus, and
the at least one processor determines the execution of the voice/message converted communication when the at least one processor determines that volume of the second sound output unit of the other-party apparatus has been turned up based on the information while the phone communication is performed between the electronic apparatus and the other-party apparatus.
