Iphone so called headphone and bluetooth notifications

I don't use Bluetooth for headphones. I do send music to Bluetooth receivers (amplifiers) to listen to music. But I still get told off by the iPhone for listening too long and too loud. It thinks I am using headphones. How can I get rid of the notifications? Googled it, and it said go to settings, sounds/haptics, and turn off headphone notifications, but it doesn't exist.....

It can't be beyond Apple intelligence for the phone to know it's not going to headphones.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Hey mickybovars,

We’d be happy to help out. Sounds like you’re getting headphone notifications for a particular Bluetooth accessory you’re using to output audio, that isn’t a pair of headphones. These notifications cannot be disabled in some countries/regions due to regulations and safety standards, however you may be able to reclassify your accessory.

To do so, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap on your Bluetooth receiver (amplifier) and then tap on “Device Type” in order to tell your iPhone what this device is. It’s likely set to “Headphone” and just needs to be adjusted to a more accurate option.

For more info on making these adjustments, check out: Set up and use Bluetooth accessories on iPhone - Apple Support

We hope this helps out.

Take care!
