Why can’t we connect multiple Bluetooth speakers to a phone and play them all?

Question

I was thinking of WiFi and how it is possible to connect multiple devices and use the internet. Why is it not possible with Bluetooth? I mean the same song from one phone being played in multiple connected speakers.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the clarifications.

Answer 1

With Bose Connect and multiple Bose speakers you can do this. The reason you can’t do it with any generic speaker is that Bluetooth is a 1 to 1 connection, so you need some middleware to manage multiple connections.

You can also play one song over two Bluetooth headsets with this function too, so you can listen to the same song as your partner.
