iPhone
users on iOS11 are facing issue with playing voice memos over Bluetooth speakers.
The voice memo will not get played at all but rather starts playing over the
iphone. Interstigly everything rest on iPhone like Music app and games play
through the speaker, it’s just Voice Memos that does not. Bluetooth is already
connected but doesn't play. The issue is independent of speakers as it happens
with almost all speakers Bose mini, Beats X etc.
The
issue is reported with almost app versions of iphone 6/7/8 and iphone x as well
on recent iOS11. This does seems to be a bug for voicememo only for Bluetooth speakers.
If play voice memo it does not work though the speaker is connected to Bluetooth.
Play the Voice Memos, the audio auto switches from bluetooth speaker to the
speaker on my iphone. Not sure if Apple has designed the voice memo not to work
over a bluetooth device or it’s a bug in iOS 11. But the users are looking to
get fixed from Apple.
How to fix iPhone voice memo not playing over Bluetooth speakers:
Fix
1: Connect Bluetooth while in voice Memo app
The
solution is to connect the Bluetooth device while in the Voice Memo app, and
press play on the device, not on the app. But you have to keep doing that every
time you exit the app.
Fix
2: Add voice memo to note
As
a workaround you can try adding Voice memo to a note via "Add to
note" and then it plays over the connected speaker. This works well overs Bluetooth
speakers.
Fix
3: Play voice memo from speaker
Try
to Email the voice memo file to yourself and then open it from your inbox and
it will then play via Bluetooth on Bluetooth connection fine.
