pairing two speakers

Hello Callangelo! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you want to pair two Bluetooth speakers as an output for your iPhone 12. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help.

For third party speakers, you'll want to connect with the manufacturers of those Bluetooth speakers to see what options they have for pairing their speakers with another.

Apple has this option for HomePod stereo pairing. You can see how to join two HomePod speakers here: Set up HomePod stereo pairing

Make it a great day!

Hello Chris_D13,

I must admit, I was expecting from my iphone to pair the two speakers, since this option was already possible in previous iphone versions. I cannot believe apple took out this very useful feature.

While you can pair your phone to multiple speakers, you can only be connected to one at a time. It wasn't any different in any previous iPhone. There are some speaker manufacturers who offer apps that will allow you to connect more than one of the same speaker to an iPhone at once and get a stereo effect. I know I had two UE speakers that I could do that with through the UE app.

Hi, Callangelo!

While it may be possible for more than one Bluetooth accessory to be connected to your iPhone at the same time, your iPhone may still only select one of them as the audio output.

We'd recommend reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they have an option for sending audio to both speakers at the same time.

Cheers!
