Since installing iOS 14.6 has anyone experienced Bluetooth not pairing with previously recognized devices? Specifically I cannot pair Fitbit device or Belkin keyboard. Have restarted everything numerous times.
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14
This has helped me to fix the issue:
Reset Network Settings
This fix resets the entire network settings to default and eliminates any changes that you have made recently. This also works with your WiFi settings and you will have to rejoin and configure WiFi networks again. Here's how to do it.
1. Launch the Settings app and navigate toGeneral.
2. Now tap on General > Reset Network Settings.
3. Enter your passcode and confirm your action.

My Ava fertility device has an app. I accidentally tapped “Forget this Device.” And my device was not found even after restarting phone several times.
My Solution: If your device has an app, Search for the app in Settings. Toggle on allow app to access Bluetooth. My iPhone immediately found my device and pairing was successful.
A lot of devices have apps that can be downloaded to optimize device function. If you don’t have an app downloaded for your device, check if there is an app designed for device.
I haven’t had that Bluetooth issue in particular but my iPad Pro 11 2nd gen and iPhone 12 Pro on 14.6 won’t connect my AirPods Pro or Beats Powerbeats pro through Bluetooth unless I forget the device and reconnect them. They work for the first use but once I’m done and try to use them later, they will not connect. The only way is to forget the device and repair them. What the heck is going on Apple? After 15 years of owning an iPhone it may be time to switch. Any ideas how to fix this seamless it just works device/issue???
I just installed 14.6 today on my 10.5 inch iPad Pro. The apple pencil is no longer recognized. I told it to forget the device and plugged it back in and the bluetooth just spins forever. I don't have any other bluetooth devices to test it with, but the pencil was changed at about 70% and I had used it not long before the update. I suspect the update is the issue.
My headphones will Bluetooth connect , but it drops and reconnects every 15 seconds or so rendering them useless. I turned off and on my phone, forgot the device and tried to pair it again, and it won’t pair now. It’s very annoying. I don’t want to purchase another pair of headphones 🎧 if the problem is an operating system glitch.
My ReSound LiNX Quattro CIC HAs drop out for streaming/phone calls constantly, or only streams through one ear. Definitely started happening since 14.6 dropped. When I have the patience for it, I'll try hooking up my BT headphones and see if I get the same behavior.
I can’t connect to my FitBit, even when it’s 2 inches away from my iPad. Constantly have to go into iPad settings, turn off Bluetooth, then turn it back on. Minutes later, the iPad forgets the device all over again. My 81 year old mother has a better memory.
Having the same issue..AirPods Pro stop connecting.
Had to forget all devices stored in Bluetooth settings, restart phone, and reconnect AirPods. But this only allowed me to "Connect" the AirPods to my iPhone. They still do not work.
Now getting "Connection Unsuccessful - make sure (name) AirPods Pro turned on and in range"
Since the 14.6 update my iPhone no longer connects to my cars SYNC.. Tried restarting the phone and forgetting the device.. Now when it’s looking the “other devices” just spins and finds nothing..
I’ve lost connectivity to my previously recognized Sony WF-1000XM3 and 3M Worktunes. Now the iPad doesn’t even see them. However, the JBL Charge 4 hooks up no problem. Oddly the iPad (7th gen I believe) also picks up the signal from an old MacBook that is running Ubuntu. And this is why I avoid the updates!
I haven't been able to pair ANY of my headphone devices with my iMac since the update. My BOSE or my beats pro. None of them work. Frustrating. Even after cutting Bluetooth on and off and reconnecting the device after erasing it from discoverable devices.
Since the iOS 14.6 and watch update my polar h10 has erratic measurements and drops nonstop. I’m an elite fitness guy and this data is important to me. I’ve done pretty much everything multiple times and still not working correctly. Anyone else?
thats why I was posting here. I have tried
My Observations so far are that when I am in workout and connected to the polar h10 the AW HRM overides the bluetooth PH10 but light is dimmer giving inaccurate readings even from the watch
Soon as I disconnect the PH10 and forget it from BT the watch reads properly
Conclusion is I am very frustrated at this point. am ready to dump the watch and get the polar unit fitness ecosystem.
Any Help??
In my experience the Bluetooth range is drastically reduced, I have three pairs of headphones that all suffer disconnection issues if my phone is in my pocket. All work fine if I’m holding it in front of me. All have worked perfectly before the last couple of updates. Sorry to say I’ll be switching back to Android.
Apple is still the best at what they do for ecosystem BUT they are now of last few years overcomplicating things like Android Samsung does. They need to get their **** together for real and start using common sense forward thinking as to what will be affected BEFORE they release a new update. Its not that hard. however super easy to **** off their customer base with issues like this. KISS principle still rules guys.
