Bluetooth Speaker and Notifications

I am connected to a JBL speaker and using Spotify. I only want Spotify to play through the speaker. I want notifications/phone calls to be on the phone only. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for your time.

Playback music while on call? Hi everyone. I've wondered why it isn't possible to play music on a bluetooth speaker, while on call with the speakers of the iphone. I read discussion, where this was replied: "Hi Acoreanna, It seems you have a question on playing back music from your iPhone and we want to help. It's not possible to play music when one of those speakers is playing the audio from your iPhone. However, with smart speakers like HomePod mini the HomePod itself can play the music: HomePod mini - Apple You could consider a different speaker that can handle the processing of music streaming on the device itself and get the results you desire. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities." My question is how come this isn't possible?

How to lock calendar notifications to sound always through speaker, not bluetooth Hi, I have an iPhone 6s, ios 14.3. I noticed recently that calendar notifications (gmail and other calendar and task apps) stopped sounding on the speaker whenever there is a bluetooth device connected. That is very problematic, as it means that if I forget a pair of bluetooth earphones connected all day, the phone won't sound notifications except through those earphones. Is there no way of locking notification sounds to come out of the speaker alone? I saw some articles referring to turning off "notification sharing" on the connected bluetooth device but I do not have this setting on any of my bluetooth connections. I also checked that "banners" are turned on in the app notifications. Thanks

How to have a discord call on connected headphones while playing Music on iPhone I’m trying to figure out how to have a discord call on my connected headphones, while still playing music out of the phone itself. I just recently switched from Samsung, where separate app sound is a built in feature. It seems pretty hard to believe that this would be impossible on a brand new iPhone in 2024 for any reason other than an extremely arbitrary one? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
