Unlock with Apple Watch causes audio to Bluetooth Headset to disconnect

Hi OinKeY,

We know how important it is to have a reliable connection with your Bluetooth headset and Apple devices. Take a look at the steps in this article to correct the issue.

If the sound from your wireless headphones cuts out or is distorted

Have a good day.

Hi CarlAVII,

It’s a shame OinKeY’s specific issue is not addressed at all in your reply, nor in the article you are referring to. OinKeY raises a bug of an interrupted Bluetooth connection between iPhone and Powerbeats Pro when using an Apple Watch to unlock the phone. It’s a bug that my phone unfortunately replicates every time I am wearing a face mask, but only then, since in any other instance, my watch needs not step in to aide facial recognition. Seems to me that, instead of referring to an old article explaining what we do wrong, this should be raised as a bug instead

I have the same issue too. Never appeared until 14.6. Did anyone at apple test the face mask unlock while listening to wireless music that wasn’t AirPods?

My issue is with the Bose 700s. Every time I unlock via my Apple Watch the audio stutters/cuts out. Definitely a new bug that was introduced.

SImiliar bug i'm facing now with my apple watch 6(7.6.1) and airpods pro(A2084). Sometimes, airpods pro may even disconnect when unlocking iphone with apple watch.
