I was wondering how I can connect two Bluetooth speakers to my iPhone and play audio simultaneously. When I connect both of my speakers to Bluetooth, only one of them plays audio, and the other sits idle. All of the tutorials that I've seen on the topic show older AirPlay UI's, and are thus obsolete.
Does anyone have any helpful info?
iOS 15.5
Speaker Bluetooth V4.2
iPhone 12, iOS 15
I did some more research on the topic after I posted the question, and during iOS 13 you used to be able to stream Bluetooth audio to multiple devices (Shown off in this video at 1:33), but as it unfortunately turns out, Apple has since changed this feature to only work with Beats & AirPods products (Shown off in this article dated March 22, 2022). The recall of this feature becomes even more frustrating when the discovery is made that Apple has ceased production of all portable speakers with the BeatsPill+ being discontinued in early January.
These are the types of changes that drive people away from Apple products, seeing as this function still exists on Android devices. I see more and more people using Androids, and I think I might have to join them soon.
Having 2 separate Bluetooth speakers play at the same time would have to be a feature of the Bluetooth speakers.
Contact the manufacturer of your speakers to see how to enable that feature on their devices.
