IOS 13.5 broke my Bluetooth

Since my update to IOS 13.5 my Bluetooth no longer works. I cannot connect any of my Bluetooth devices to my iPhone any longer. Seeing that 13.5 had COVID tracing capability over Bluetooth I would imagine this is related to a bug in that module? Is anyone else having this issue?


If so does anyone have a fix?


thank you

iPhone 8 Plus

Hello iPhoneGR8ness,


Thank you for contacting the Apple Support Community! I see you are having an issue with your Bluetooth after updating your iPhone to iOS 13.5. It is an important feature in your iPhone that is used daily.


I would start by updating the iPhone to the next software update that is available (now iOS 13.5.1). It usually fixes any bugs or issues related to the software in your device. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Check out this article for more troubleshooting steps. If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Take care!
