Latest Update Changes How Bluetooth Works

[rexgoode]

The lastest update from Verizon for my S9+ has changed how my Bluetooth headset works.

Before, I could hear ringtones and notifications on both the headset and the phone.

Since the last update, it only plays on one or the other. If I set my headset down, I don't hear ringtones or notifications unless I'm very close to the headset. Now I have to always remember to turn the headset off if I'm going to not be wearing it.

Can't find anything in the settings that helps.

What headset are you using, brand, model?

Yes, this is a big problem for me as well. I'm hoping they reconsider this behaviour very soon and revert things back to the way they used to be! Don't forget to complain via the Samsung+ (or Samsung Members) app!

I sent a complaint through the Feedback section of the Samsung + App
Hopefully many more will do so and it will be fixed with next update
