Hi,

I have noticed that my Apple Watch disconnects from my iPhone when connected to CarPlay. It then goes onto cellular. Obviously I don’t want this to happen constantly because cellular drains my Apple Watch battery.

It only occurs when audio plays directly to my hearing aid devices instead of through the speakers. In the audio routing settings, I have it set to always hearing devices.

Once I stop playing audio through my hearing devices, it connects with my watch again as normal.

I also have to now connect manually to my hearing devices to get audio in my hearing aids instead of the speakers and this causes the watch to be disconnected. It used to connect automatically since the audio routing settings were set to always hearing devices.

It never did this before with iOS 12. Is it an iOS 13 issue?

Any ideas?
