New Iphone 13 can't connect via bluetooth to google minis

jayes — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 20:49:45 GMT

I have a new iphone 13 running IOS 15. Trying to connect my google mini 1, 2 and Home (as they were previously connected) via bluetooth to phone. The Google Home app sees them and they function. I can "play music" through the Google Home app, but that does not allow me to select music I want to hear from Apple music as I would be able to do if I were connected via bluetooth. I just want to use them as speakers. When I put phone in discoverable mode near the mini it comes up with ECHO SHOW -2BK. That is only device it sees. Tried restarting the mini but that did not do the trick. Was curious if I am the only one with issue. It's the same on my 4 minis and 1 Nest Home. Any suggestions appreciated. I suspect an incompatibility, but who will claim to fix (Apple or Google) is the big question. The Nest doorbell works fine.
