Remarks:

  1. You can change the maximum number of Bluetooth device connections for your phone in Developer options. To do this, perform the following:
    • Go to Settings > About phone, find the build number, and touch it seven consecutive times (enter the lock screen password if required) until You are now a developer! is displayed. Return to Settings, search for and access Maximum connected Bluetooth audio devices, and select the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected.
    • Restart the phone for this to take effect.
  2. Your phone can be connected to multiple pairs of earphones at the same time, but audio cannot be played from several pairs of earphones at a time, and can only be played from a single pair of earphones.
  3. "Maximum number of connected devices" refers to the devices that can be connected through Bluetooth and output audio, such as earphones, speakers, and Bluetooth car kits. Bluetooth mouses, keyboards, and selfie sticks are not counted. After the number of audio output devices connected to your phone reaches the maximum, you can still connect your phone to a Bluetooth mouse or selfie stick. For example, when three pairs of earphones and two speakers are connected to a HarmonyOS 2.0 phone, the phone can still connect to a Bluetooth selfie stick or mouse.
