Reset Network Settings will not Reset Bluetooth

I am trying to reset my Bluetooth on my iPhone XS. I have been having a lot of problems where Bluetooth will disconnect every time I’m in my car and then reconnect. The problem is not with my car. I also have issue where music will cut out for half a second. I have tried to Reset Network Settings in Settings, but every time I do it, none of my Bluetooth accessories are forgotten. My WiFi connections are forgotten, but my Bluetooth connections stay in the Bluetooth menu. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.


If the above fails...



Reset All Settings: All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home screen layout, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.

  1. Reset All Settings: Return iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support:- Return iPhone settings to their defaults
  2. You can return settings to their defaults without erasing your content.
  3. If you want to save your settings, back up your iPhone before returning them to their defaults. For example, if you’re trying to solve a problem but returning settings to their defaults doesn’t help, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.
