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 Angie > On 29 Dec 2019, at 20:44, Duane Steele wrote: > > Perhaps this should

What I do anyway is when listening to an audio book from my phone is to turn off voice over speech so no VO sound comes through when I'm listening to my audio book. On 12/30/19, englishride...@gmail.com wrote: > Wasn't this sighted as a new feature in iOS 13? I don't know if my UE Boom > speaker

Wasn't this sighted as a new feature in iOS 13? I don't know if my UE Boom speaker just has too old of a bluetooth version to make this work, but VO still comes out of it when I connect it to my iPhone. If this is indeed a new feature, I think it should be optional, maybe with a rotor toggle to

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

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

Greetings friends.I can’t remember if this issue was resolved. I was given a Bose speaker for Christmas and though I can connect it and it will play music voiceover remains on my phone and not on the speaker. I have also downloaded the Bose Connect app and that did not resolve the issue. Has
