iPadOS keeps insisting on taking over Bluetooth audio
I am at my wit's end with this. Here is the scenario. I have my iPhone playing podcasts. My 16" MacBook Pro is aware that my Bluetooth headphones are present, but let's the audio continue to play unless I click "connect" or select the ear phones as my audio output. The iPad Pro, however, is ridiculous. It will immediately hijack the audio connection from the iPhone. I can reconnect and resume playing podcasts on the iPhone, and a short while later the iPad Pro assumes control again. This is ridiculous. Is it an unusual use case that a user would be listening to audio from their phone and using the iPad without wanting it to insist the user wants to hear iPad Pro audio - when nothing is playing?!?! There has to be a way to solve this. macOS and the iPhone play along nicely regarding Bluetooth audio handoff - why is iPadOS wrongfully asserting itself all the time??
