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.
I called Apple Support to discuss this issue and my disgust. I walked through all their suggestions and NOTHING changed the fact that my Bluetooth wasn't working properly. I didn't have the dropping and the failure to connect issue before the update. Things were running smoothly. When my Powerbeats Pro's wouldn't connect Apple's suggestion was to take them in and have them checked out at the Apple Store.... Please. There is and was nothing wrong with my Powerbeats. The problem is that ALMIGHTY APPLE will not admit that something is wrong. I have been a loyal customer for decades. This is disturbing and has me second-guessing future purchases from Apple. I don't trust their upgrades anymore. I am weary of their upcoming OS. So, what's the answer? What's the fix? I wish I knew or that Apple would be honest with its customers.
Did they create this community thinking we’d be here just praising them?
Where is somebody from Apple to say how to solve this issue or to at least acknowledge our concerns?
At the end the only Apple products that are really worth the price, are the computers…
Just what I was starting to think as I scrolled through the forum, looking for an Apple response/resolution to these issues….
Nope, clearly there isn’t one (don’t believe that - there will be) or Apple don’t care enough.
What is going on here Apple? You just going to ignore all these customers? This is very bad UX and customer support. Sort it out please.
Hi! I am facing the same issue, i installed 14.6 on my air 3, and now it’s not pairing with the pencil. My Bluetooth is working with other devices such a earphones, but not the pencil. Did it get resolved for you..?
Facing similar issues. Not sure the date of my iOS update. But I’m suspecting the two things coincide. I am able to connect devices using Bluetooth, but the second I use it it disconnects and reconnects itself over and over again, making it unusable. Has this issue been diagnosed and resolved at all for anyone? I’m planning on taking my phone to Apple to get some additional support. They told me over the phone that it’s not a software issue - which I struggle to believe to be honest.
My original issue was with my hearing aids; I’d only be able to stream to one ear unless my phone was right up against the side of my head. Decided to try and connect my Skullcandy Cassette headphones, and I was able to walk all over my house while leaving the phone in one spot, so now I’m even more confused as to what my issue is.
I am also having the same issues and have reached out to apple. I have done everything I can to get the Bluetooth connection to work. Bluetooth will go in and out when i am in the car and my airpod pros will not stay connected. I am beyond frustrated i even thought of switching over to samsung.
I have basically the same issue on 12 pro max.
Almost every song will pause on the 15second mark, and I have to skip to the next one to have it keep playing. This happens on any bluetooth audio device I tried and it’s starting to make me crazy. Apple music is UNUSABLE for me like this
Not a software issue? so it's hardware? kinda worse then as it's reportedly happening with Apple headphones as well. Unless its some freakish global weather phenomenon unfortunately coinciding with the release of 14.6. Come on Apple, i would like to believe this issue will be resolved in IOS 14.7
I have the same issue since a while. I was able to pair my nuraphone headphone before, but suddenly stopped working. I removed the link and tried to repair it, without any luck. My Ipad pro does not recognize the headphone again, although there are no problems to pair the headphones with my Samsung. It looks like that removing the BT link on my Ipad, removes the entry in my paired devices list, but still hangs in the background preventing to pair it again!
I hope this problem is solved soon!
My Bluetooth has been struggling bad to reconnect. I have a series six Apple Watch and use the Bluetooth connection for my car. It either won’t connect at all or will for a brief moment. Definitely started with the recent update (14.6). Very frustrating. My iTunes also has been having issues with connecting to the services. Try to play already bought and downloaded music. It will take a long time or won’t play.
Airpods Pro disconnects the handset. Just one thing. The iphone must be restarted. Or completely steam the headphones. When the housing is opened, the energy values jump. After restart and pairing works, for some time.
I am having the same problem. After installing 14.6 my iphone hasnt been able to connect to my aftershokz earphones via bluetooth. I’ve reset the aftershokz and also reset network settings on the iphone and neither worked. Its so frustrating. Apple you need to get this fixed ASAP😡
My wife and daughter's airpods will not connect either. Bluetooth is just not grabbing anything.
What’s the solution then
