Bluetooth Headsets not working for outgoing voice after installed with OS 16.5

Had issues with my bluetooth headset after installed with OS 16.5. People cannot hear me but i can hear them. Tried with 2 headsets that was working before this version. Restart iPhone and re paired 2 headsets to tried after, does not work either with Bluetooth communication for outgoing voice.


Change to iPhone or Speaker works with the iPhone at the moment.

Indeed it is a bug. All another reason to way a couple of days until your install an update.

Those are not the issues on setting as nothing had been changed and tested with 2 working headset that works with other devices on my laptops.

This only happens after installed with IOS 16.5 as per said and i hope this can be resolved soon which seems to be a bug.


To reiterate,

  1. The issue is the other party cannot hear you but you can hear them.
  2. This is not the only one time issue but the same for any voice calls using Bluetooth headsets after installed with IOS 16.5.
  3. Lastly, i am not the only one facing this but sharing awareness. I urged the same for those whom also shared with me or your friends to raise the issue as well.
