Can Android Bluetooth be set to phone calls only?

[jasong879]

Currently on iOS but considering jumping to Android when my contract is up. Is it possible on Android devices to set Bluetooth output for phone calls only? With my iPhone, if I am using my maps app while talking on the phone, the maps audio will talk over my phone audio. Also, I don't stream music at all, either with my car Bluetooth or my Bluetooth headset. The ONLY thing I use Bluetooth for is phone calls.

TIA

I suppose there's a separate forum for answers...

Welcome to Android Central! Sorry, it's difficult to answer questions that quickly.

Yes, you can set a Bluetooth device to be connected to Phone only. Go to Settings>Bluetooth, select the device, and uncheck Media Audio, but leave Phone Audio checked.

Awesome, thanks! Looks like I'll be moving to Android soon.

Weird that Apple refuses to incorporate some of these simple features. Guess I should have gone Android in the first place.
