Looking for help or suggestions on iphone settings to prevent YouTube playback disruptions. I have a pair of phonak hearing aids connected to my iphone updated to ios 16.4.1.
When I’m watching a YouTube video and I get a notification from any other app, the video will automatically pause. This happens with the focus setting turned on and I have sound notifications turned off for every app. And phone is set to silent mode.
When I disconnect my Bluetooth to stop streaming to my hearing aids, YouTube videos no longer get interrupted by other notifications.
What I think is happening:
YouTube has a feature that stops playing videos when headphones are disconnected. And when I get a notification on another app, my sound connection jumps to the app recieving the notification despite everything being muted. This activates YouTube’s feature to pause a video when headphones disconnect.
I can’t find settings in the YouTube app to shut this off either.
EDIT: Discovered the issue was my HAs connecting to a tablet that didn’t have notification sounds disabled. Leaving this thread up in case someone else runs into the same issue.
