More control over free-spirited Bluetooth
The first iOS 26 developer is out now ahead of its public beta launch in July
One of its upgrades is a new option called ‘Keep Audio in Headphones’
This should reduce auto-switching problems for wireless headphones
If you’re tired of your iPhone automatically switching to every other Bluetooth device other than your headphones, then iOS 26 has a treat for you – a new option to make the audio stay connected to your wireless headphones.
As spotted by MacRumors, the new iOS 26 developer beta has a long-awaited new option called «Keep Audio in Headphones» in the iPhone’s Settings. The new option will seemingly live in the Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity section and is specifically designed to stop headphones from making unwanted connections to nearby devices.
