I have problem with bluetooth with the newest version of ios. My version is 17.1.1 and the it constantly disconnecting on all devices. i searched a lot and i found that there are so many people who have this problem with their iphone in different models.
I've reset my setting, i did so many things which i've found on internet. but it didn't fix yet.
Could you please fix it as soon as possible? it's really annoying

Apple just released iOS 17.1.2. Update your iPhone, then after the update completes, Force Restart your iPhone by following these directions --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Keep the Force Restart instructions as I do this after EVERY iOS update and I've never had an issue caused by any update in all the years I've owned an iPhone.

17.3.1 update has still not fixed Bluetooth issues.
deleted devices, re connect devices etc etc,
Bluetooth still stutters and disconnects.
APPLE you are better than this.
Please rectify the issue.
You aren't writing Apple. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't actively participate. So they won't see your plea for help. I can tell you I have zero issues with Bluetooth Devices on any of my devices running iOS 17.3.1 or iPadOS 17.3.1. On my iPhone alone, I have more than 10 Bluetooth devices connected and every one of them is connecting and staying connected just fine.
If you want Apple to know you have an issue however, you can use this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
yeah i reached out to apple. They told me alot of people are having this issue and it will be addressed in a upcoming software update. Thanks for your though mate
My workaround is to turn Bluetooth off, then back on. After that I select the device from the Bluetooth list and it connects.
Turn ur phone off and back on by pushing the vol down and power button and sliding the slide to the shut off position then wait for about a min then turn back on and that should fix the issue
Bluetooth issues as well with the 13 mini on IOS 17.1.1, it will pick up devices if they are like 10inces away but if they are further way (Ex. 5 feet) they will be dropped and when attempting to reconnect I get “make sure device is on and in range” sometimes the phone will connect to all devices no matter the distance for like 5-10 minutes then it will drop them. Again issues started after 17.1.1 Apple needs to get this sorted out because it’s absolutely ridiculous.

I have had no bluetooth whatsoever since going to 17.1 - upgraded to 17.1.1 today in the hope that this would resolve matters, but still not recognizing any bluetooth devices. I'm on a new iPhone 15
Have you put your Bluetooth devices in pairing mode for your new iPhone 15 to be able to see and pair with them? If you don't put your devices in pairing mode, your iPhone won't see them, so can't pair with them.
Seeing this, and translating my “car audio system locking up” issues (see above, thankfully they haven’t recurred) into hearing aids, I just want to say that Apple needs to get this sorted out sooner rather than later.
Just for the meanwhile have you tried making sure that your phone is in the pocket nearest the “master” hearing aid?
it shouldn’t matter if bluetooth is working properly but it has a hard time travelling through water which is pretty much what we are made of.
Hi have new Oticon Real hearing aids and the Bluetooth connection via iOS 17.1.1is very spotty! Lots of breaks in sound, squelches, etc. I am pretty sure this is a software problem with the new version of iOS
Due to the holiday break, I’ve finally seen how to “fix” the issue on calls, when I’m not driving. When I have any BT earbud or headset connected, if the other caller cannot hear me, I have to look at the call screen (the one that Apple moved the buttons on iOS 17), tap on the audio device button, tap iPhone, and then tap on my BT device. When I do that, the other caller hears me on my BT device, and sometimes the volume goes all the way up on my BT device.
I can’t believe they aren’t aware of this problem. BT is older than iOS. The major danger that I see with this bug is that most of the time it’s happening while a call is in progress, and it’s also happening while an iPhone is connected to a car. When I’m driving I can’t fool around with the screen; I have to drop the call and call back. What is happening to Apple? If they are so worried about security, why did they bother with changing BT settings?
Mine cuts out when I get a notification. I had to turn them all off. I have to disconnect. Reconnect. And restart whatever I was listening to.
So annoying. We can land a satellite—on a comet—using math—yet we can’t keep Bluetooth connected when a notification comes through. 17.1.2 did nothing
Same, having this issue with my pops iPhone and his hearing aids,
phone calls are not connecting to his hearing aid as the first option and there is no priority feature under incoming calls leaving him frustrated and isolated, especially when in hospital
he doesn’t understand texting and is over 80yo, from an accessibility standpoint this is atrocious and have found reports of similar issues since iOS 17 was released with no update
iPhone 14max
Just updated both my phone and my wife’s phone to 17.1.1. Killed Bluetooth on both.
sees devices but refuses to pair. Tried all the web ‘tricks’ so far no luck.
remove device
try re-adding - nothing
reset network settings - nothing
reboot - nothing
smash iPhone and purchase android- ed just yet
Apple takes away headphone port then kills Bluetooth- Steve has to laughing!!!
in other news… Apple seeking qualified QA testers. 😆
Yesterday I spoke with a friend who has an iPhone 15 Pro. He doesn't have any Bluetooth issues. At this point, there are two possibilities: either it's a hardware issue related to the Bluetooth module, or there's some mess in the iOS system because my friend using his first iPhone and therefore has never loaded previous backups
Bluetooth issues on my iPhone with iOS 17.3.1 and still not fixed.... I have an iphone 13 & iphone 15 plus and both have same problem...
I change my Samsung Ultra 22 phone to iphone because I believe it is better buuuuutttt has a lot of problems, it's just a fancier and very expensive phone... There is not a real advantage to have one android instead an Android's phone....
I am very upset...
To fix something, there usually needs to be a lot of people having an issue. This isn't to say you're not having some issue with Bluetooth, but by and large, most people are not. I have no issues with Bluetooth on my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or MacBook Pro. I have 12 different Bluetooth devices paired with my iPhone and all work just fine.
Waiting for an update to resolve an issue, which most people don't have isn't the best course of action. Have you reached out to Apple directly for help?
