iPhone text notifications from speaker with Bluetooth?
Is there an option in iPhone to get text notifications to
play from the phone speaker when the phone is connected to a Bluetooth device?
If my earbuds are on I only hear the notification sound in the earbuds. The
phone itself doesn't make a sound. How do I change this? I want the
notification sound to ALWAYS play from the phone regardless of if I'm connected
to a Bluetooth device or not.
Here is the exact scenario that prompted this. When I am
on call, I will get text notifications when a ticket comes in. These
notifications are set up to play even if the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode.
Apparently, when I got home from work, and put away my earbuds, the right
earbud did not make contact with the charging port in the case, and therefore
never disengaged from the phone. When a ticket came in overnight the
notification played through the earbud in my laptop bag, not the phone on my
nightstand. The ticket will page every 5 minutes until someone responds. If no
one responds after 5 pages it goes to the manager. After 10 pages it goes to
the director. My manager is on vacation this week, so the ticket one unanswered
for 10 pages until my director got it. At that point in time my director called
me. The phone itself still rings for incoming calls if it's connected to a
Bluetooth, so that call woke me up. It is absolutely idiotic that the text
notifications only play through Bluetooth when connected. My personal phone,
which is an Android, plays notifications from the phone itself and over Bluetooth
simultaneously, which is logical.
Someone please tell me if there is a fix to this. I've
come across other people complaining about this exact same issue going back 10
years. So, I doubt Apple has done anything to actually fix this, but I am
hopeful.
