Hi
I’d quite like it as a toggle. There are times when I don’t want notifications
coming over my speaker, but it’s essential if I want to use said speaker to
read a book using the speech on my phone.
All the best

I also find it interesting how something which has been the status quo at least
ever since I bought my first iPod Touch Third Gen in 2009 now suddenly should
no longer be so.
Bluetooth always has routed all audio including Voiceover and system sounds to
any Bluetooth device and it's only in iOS
Well, since I started this present discussion, I'll summarize what I've
learned. First, let me clarify one point. The Bose speaker was a gift, and
I'm aware of, and I have other speakers that allow VO to play through them.
Second, I am hearing that I cannot listen to anything but media in
IMHO, all audio, including voiceOver should go through a bluetooth
speaker or head phones by default. If you don't want VoiceOver to go
through an external speaker then use Air Play or Chrome Cast. Of course,
if Apple could add a feature where you could send media to one bluetooth
device while
I think it should be a toggle. Generally, I think this is a great change. I do
not ever want to hear voiceover through a Bluetooth speaker. But I understand
there are use cases for it. So I think the best solution would be a toggle. I
don’t see that this is at all the same as plugging in a
true, and what sighted user is going to want to hear vo blasting through a
speaker if you’re playing media? to me this is not a bug, but a welcome change.

Perhaps this should be an optional situation. Sometimes VO is okay left on the
phone. But then, when important notifications come in, they are missed because
they don't get heard on the bluetooth speaker. Sometimes, you would like to
hear important texts through the speaker. I'll say this
If you want that you can get an Airplay capable speaker which does exactly what
you say. I personally completely agree that with a Bluetooth speaker Voiceover
and all sounds should come over the speaker, after all, if you plug in a
headset or wired speaker you don't expect just the music to
This is truly funny. I believe it was a year or so ago that many blind users of
VO demanded that VO stay with the iPhone and music and other media play through
a Bluetooth speaker. This made a lot of sense because it allowed a user to
adjust volume and other settings, select a play list or
