Bluetooth headphones connect but songs comes from iphone speaker

My Bluetooth headphones worked fine with my iPhone 13 until a few days ago.

Since then I can still connect them (they show as connected in the Bluetooth settings) but sound still comes from the phone speaker. I tried a friend’s Bluetooth headphones and they exhibit the same problem.

I tried all the troubleshooting articles I can find but to no avail.

Can anyone help please?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Thank you!

I’m happy to say that restarting my phone fixed the problem.

Wondering if you have tried restarting your phone.

Sometimes that puts things back in order again.

You might want to check that you are only connecting headphones to one device at a time

(Eg may not be switching between multiple devices.)


You could try "resetting" the headphones, or seeing if there is a firmware update available.

We don't know what brand they are, yett there is likely a manufacturer's website that may help.
