First, I do not know if I'm using the correct terminology in my title. I will sometimes bluetooth some music from an app, and while I'm listening I migth scroll LinkedIn or instagram or something. The problem is as I do it will recognize a video in the feed and stop playing my music. Is there a way to just turn this off?
 
In settings in the app, for LinkedIn, instagram I don’t have that issue as long as you click on the speaker icon to mute it (at least the autoplaying reels) if you specifically click on a reel I don’t know if you can not have the audio not switch over even if the reel is muted since that is basically considered an active video
 
As mentioned many apps have an option within their own settings where you can disable Autoplay of media just on Mobile Data or off completely. I've had to do it for both Facebook and Twitter on my wifes phone as when we are using Carplay for navigation using her phone when she scrolls through them it will cut in and interrupt the music\radio we have on and start playing sound from the video instead.
