  • Phone doesn't auto-disconnect from BT earbuds

    From Chris@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 1 09:19:33 2023
    I've noticed recently that my phone no longer disconnects from
    unavailable earbuds. If, after having listened to some music on a walk,
    I put my earbuds away and then want to continue listening the phone used
    to disconnect from the earbuds and play on the phone's speaker.

    It no longer does this. It started before the latest updated and has
    persisted through the update.

    I've also changed earbuds since the symptoms started.

    Any ideas on how to get it working as before? i.e. don't try to play
    music through unavailable BT devices.

    In the iPhone settings, Bluetooth, click the info button beside the
    device. Then "Forget this device".

    Yes, this is "hacky" but needed from time to time.

    Might also need to re-start your phone to get things to play nice.
    (Power off and re-start).

    I once found two iPhone macros to turn speakers on and turn hearing aids
    on which I use for similar affect with WhatsApp instead of going thru Accessability > Hearing Devices
