Hi, is there a way to continue listening to audio on the bluetooth device even after connecting to a second device?
For example, if I'm listening to a podcast through my airpods and when I get into my car and my iphone connects to the bluetooth receiver in the car, the audio will automatically continue playing from the car receiver.
I would like to be able to continue listening from the first device. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
