iOS 14.6 Bluetooth issues

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.

Facing same issue.


Since updating to iOS 14.6 -> bluetooth works if listening/ watching videos / music, BUT disconnects frequently and keeps reconnecting over calls (whatsapp / facetime / regular network calls / any 2 way communication) -> hence rendering them useless.


I have highlighted the same over twitter to apple support, but doesn't seem helpful. And won't ack the issues, even though so many people are facing the issue.


what have I tried so far:

  1. Reset network settings -> doesn't work
  2. reset all settings -> works for 1/2 calls, then same issue.
  3. forget airpods pro and reconnecting -> doesn't work
  4. remove bluetooth devices from all apple devices -> mac, iphone, ipad, etc. Worked for some time, but then same issue.


Planning to restore OS, and see if it works.


I am stuck with apple ecosystem, and need some solution.

Anyone figured out a way to get this corrected ?
