Routing sound through speaker or bluetooth

Is there a way to set sound outpud using phone speaker or bluetooth for each app independently?

I need apple music to play using car bluetooth and navi / cam warning apps to speak using phone speaker without interrupting the music.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello,

Hmm, I think that it is pretty much all-or-nothing when using Bluetooth sound.

If you want to change the sound output manually, try this:

1) Open the Control Center

2) Long press on the music controls

3) Select the output option (little up-arrow with circles)

4) Select iPhone or Bluetooth etc.

Good luck.
