Hello WillWillWill98,

That's a fantastic question! You wouldn't be able to have music play from a Bluetooth speaker and HomePod at the same time, it would be one or the other. You can switch between speakers via the Control Center on your iPhone. The steps to access Control Center vary by iPhone model and can be found in the following article.

Access Control Center on your iPhone and iPod touch

Once in Control Center you'll see the media player towards the top-right with a triangle icon that has arches above it. If you tap that icon, you'll be able to choose the speaker or device you would like the audio to play through.

Apple does appreciate all feedback regarding their products, services, and features. If you would like to provide feedback to Apple, you can do so via the Product Feedback website.

Take care!

Out of the blue, AirPlay not longer working with Sonos. Two hours ago I was happily listening to a podcast via Apple app and then, out of the blue, AirPlay is not connecting anymore. I can only play through the Sonos app. It seems to be an issue since the latest update iOS16.1.2 I use an iPhone 13 mini and an iPad. I have restarted all my devices, deleted and reinstalled the Sonos app, nothing helps. The recent update really stuffed things up. It’s definitely not my device as all iOS devices in the household (three iPhones, two iPads, two MB Air) have stopped working through AirPlay. It’s Apple. Or Sonos. Or both. Though I very much doubt it’ll work, I am now considering a hard reset of the speaker (Ikea Symfonisk Picture Frame) but before I do so, are there any other tricks I could try? I don’t want to use the Sonos app for my music. I pay Apple. And I want to be able to see the lyrics of songs. Not possible with Sono. Very disappointing. On a Sonos forum it was suggested to switch the off the ‘Private WiFi Address’ but, unfortunately, it did not do the trick for me. Suggestions on how to fix this very welcome!
