I am frustrated at the amount of battery drain by apps who use Bluetooth to play sound and music even when I mute sound and music within the app. It drains the battery and I can hear my aids go into Bluetooth mode (blocking out background sounds). There is nowhere to deny permission to apps to use bluetooth.
I’ve contacted the app developers who tell me to ask Google Play. Google Play tells me to contact the manufacturer. Samsung tells me to find a 3rd party app (no specific recommendations). All the 3rd party apps require a ridiculous amouny of permissions that I don’t feel comfortable with.
I know I can manually turn off bluetooth altogether but that affects other devices and then if I get a call it’s not through my hearing aids, plus I enjoy getting notifications through my aids, not out loud.
Feels like this should be easily solved but I can’t find a solution. If it matters, I use a Samsung Galaxy 22 Ultra.
Thanks!
