iOS 14.7.1 & Bluetooth issues

Hi OkieInCO,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

We understand you're having trouble with Bluetooth connections on your iPhone.

Are you referring to pairing connections the already existed, or are you having trouble setting up a new Bluetooth connection? If a new connection, ensure you are putting the Bluetooth device in 'Pairing' mode which you can find in most user guides.

Can you tell us what is happening when you try to pair? Are you able to turn Bluetooth off and on in Settings > Bluetooth? The below article will walkthrough some troubleshooting steps, as well as what situations to consider contacting Apple Support.

If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Hope this helps! Take care for now.

After I have upgraded to the 14.7.1 my Bluetooth is disconnecting and reconnecting on and off when trying to use it. I first noticed it with the connection to my car which is a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado. But it is also happened with my Jabra earbuds. I had no problem before the upgrade. I will start my car and the phone connects to Bluetooth. I can use Spotify or listen to music or podcasts using various apps without a problem. However when I activate Siri the phone and Bluetooth connection will basically spaz out and proceed and several reconnect disconnects

until finally staying disconnected. However yes I look at my Bluetooth connections on my phone it says that I’m connected to my car but my car says no connection therefore my connection is in limbo. If I am on a phone call I can’t hear anything and the other party can’t hear me but the call is not dropped

I just purchased a 12 Pro, replacement for my X. Same issue, 2009 GMC Yukon. Bluetooth shows connected, then drops. Picks up mid phone calls and it’s like a black hole where no audio is transmitted. I have AirPods that stay connected with no problem. Apple support via text was woefully inadequate and offered zero assistance, even suggesting that I visit my auto manufacturer for a Bluetooth refresh (what?). Hope a new update fixes this, and quick.

Yes, I have the same issue, after updating to 14.7.1 I have the same symptoms.

The issue remain even after unpairing all the devices and network reset.

I have an Iphone SE 2020 and multiple bluetooth devices.

Any solution please?

Cannot connect to microlife blood pressure monitor's blue tooth. Was working fine before the update to 14.7.1. on my iphone Xr. Tried resetting the network, installing and reinstalling the microlife app, unparing the blue tooth device. Finally deleted the device on the phone, and then the phone cannot find the device to pair. So far I have tried everything and nothing works.

I also have the same problem with my mesical device , Bluetooth blood glucose transmitter. Right after the update (on iphone11) it stopped updating the data. I tried to unpair to pair again but it cannot pair anymore. This has been more than an inconvenience to loose this function.

hi

thank you for the replies, there I was happily looking forward to upgrading to the new apple thinking it solve the problem

and here you are saying 12 peo has the same issue's this is so annoying, ive bought and returned some amazing

bowers wilkins earbuds because they were connecting to my iphone.

i did buy some Tozo earbuds which funnily enough connected but having listed to the bowers wilkins on my mums phones there was no contest .....

i really hope they update the bluetooth issue because this is getting daft.

stupid this was I sold my iphone ipods to get a better quality earbuds wish i hadnt now.

i know the bluetooth works because it connects to my wireless panasonic speaker

i even tried the new panasonic earbuds nothing no connection at all its all to do with the

upgrade 14.7.1 thats causing the issue.

driving me crazy now

Since the automatic download of iOS 14.7.1 the USB connecting media cannot be used with my iPhone 8+, but it works with other iPhones.

I am seeing others having the same problem, but no solution yet.

Can you help?

this has been happening to us too, all bluetooth accessories and even other iphones and ipads just wont stay connected.

apple hasnt responded with anything helpful. the troubleshooting steps are a waste of time. holding out for the next update is ridiculous, the past couple havent done anything to even address this.

at this point its also impacting our business.

It is absolutely pathetic of Apple to do this. It's been more than a month now and the radio silence of Apple on this issue is quite discouraging. I am hoping they will resolve this with iOS 15 which may get announced today ... anyway I am now seriously considering moving out of Apple universe post this.

Same issue here. Directly after the update

I updated from the last version of IOS 14.6 to IOS 14.7.1 on my iPhone 8 Plus. Since the update Bluetooth is not enabling anymore. It keeps loading when I try to enable it.

It isn’t turning on at all

Have the same problem after update to ios 14.7.1

Before update I had a good connection between iPhone and Chord Poly. Now, Sometimes it is connected sometimes it’s not! It’s super annoying!
