The relevant facts:
I have an iPhone SE (2020 - the new one)
My husband has a Samsung Galaxy S9
I bought a small portable bluetooth speaker last month - specifically the Sony SBS-X12 if anyone's curious. It works great. BUT.
When I first opened it, I paired it with my phone - easy peasy, plays great, no problems. Last week my husband tried to pair his phone with it as well, and couldn't find it on his list. He gave up then, but tried again today - this time, I told my phone to "forget" the speaker, it came up on his list no problem and he paired it and played on it.
Except now I can't re-pair my phone; I suspect I'll need to have my husband "forget" the speaker in order to get it to work. (I actually wonder if it will work tomorrow when he's at the office and his phone is not in range.)
It's not the end of the world or anything, but it is annoying to have to un-pair and re-pair the speaker every time the other person wants to use it.
So the question is, is there any way around this? Is this a common thing with bluetooth speakers/accessories? Why is technology so great and so stupid all at once?
