iOS 16 bug with iPhone 13/ mini

Does anyone else have an iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 13 that has took the iOS 16 update and gets random restarts all day and random Bluetooth disconnects especially on a call and it hangs up.. I don’t experience this issue in iOS 15.7 I’m really about to go back to android

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

First try a Forced restart

Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

If no better

Backup, restore to factory,  and   test, then restore from backup:- 

(If the phone needs attention you will have to do this anyway)

If you can import your media to Photos or iTunes in a computer and copy important documents to a cloud server it will give you some resilience in case the restore from backup fails, or you need to ditch the backup and start as new.

(2)          Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

(3)          Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

 

If the problem remains then do step (2) again but set up as new without restoring any backup.

 

 If it fixes it then it is probably a rogue app.

 

Otherwise arrange a repair

Anything other than Screen or Battery may be a replacement phone and the price is in the article under "Other damage"

I tried all this deleted back ups using my phone with only the stock apps and using YouTube from safari and once again the phone drops Bluetooth and restarts with a spinning gear it’s only happening on iOS 16 not 15 so it can’t be a hardware issue . Thanks for the reply

Still im not getting an answer why does it work on iOS 15.7.1 with no issues ? Like in iOS 16 it’s not even a full restart it’s like a soft restart shows a spin gear real quick and loads back into what I was doing doesn’t show apple logo or anything it’s definitely iOS 16 . But thanks
