yet there is no way to get my iPhone to stop auto-switching bluetooth audio between my devices. Any time I get in my car, my headphones connect to the car and I have to switch it back. So annoying
- nntwozz 9mo agoThis was added in iOS 26. https://9to5mac.com/2025/12/08/ios-26-new-airpods-setting-can-solve-common-bluetooth-issue/ https://9to5mac.com/2025/12/08/ios-26-new-airpods-setting-ca... In iOS 26, you can keep audio playing with your headphones by enabling the new "Keep Audio with Headphones" setting, found in Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity, which stops audio from automatically switching to nearby devices like car stereos or Bluetooth speakers when you're already connected to your headphones. This setting, which is off by default, ensures your music, calls, or podcasts stay with your AirPods or wireless headphones, preventing frustrating interruptions when you start your car or enter a room with another speaker.
- allarm 9mo agoThanks! Though the funny thing - it's not possible to search for this option using the search bar in settings - it doesn't show any results for "keep audio" ) I'm on 26.1
- locusofself 9mo agoAWESOME, thanks for the tip
- locusofself 9mo agoSadly this didn't work. I have no idea why. Others have reported the same. Maybe because I'm using regular bluetooth and not an Apple branded product? I have a Tesla.
