I've tried connecting my iPhone and iPads to my Echos via BT to listen to Spotify and SiriusXM streaming services. It would work, but it would often be flaky. I wanted to use the speakers from my Echo while having a display on my iPad to see what song was playing. The BT connection was not the way to go in those cases and signals often dropped out and the screen usually froze on a song and never updated. Using Echo directly to stream Spotify or SiriusXM works pretty well except for the drop outs that occur about once an hour or so. Once the connection drops out, Alexa cannot get it back without me issuing another command to do so. I also tried streaming locally loaded songs from my iPhone to the Echo via BT and again the results were not that good. It might be a BT issue, but it is annoying. After all, BT in general on any device can be rather annoying and finicky.
