Bluetooth issues on my iPhone adter iOS 17 update

I’ve used iPhone 11, 13 promax and 14 promax. Any Bluetooth I use they disconnect or they start to breakup. I’ve used AirPod pros 1st n 2nd gen, beats headphones and other non Apple devices and nothing works

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?

Updated to IOS 17.4. Tested 5 calls from mu car with bluettoh: no cuts, no hanging the car head unit after a call, one call after the other. It worked fine!.

Still need to test receiving a call and then making another to confirm it has been really solved this time.

So far it seems to Finally is solved.!

I have found that if I connect a phone call (I call the pharmacy, let it connect, then disconnect- it’s all AI at this point) then it connects to whatever audio I want to use. Usually an audiobook. It’s bs but since apple won’t fix this major bug it’s what I have to do. Do I seriously have to go to an android? I’m just about there.

I am running 17.4.1 on an iPhone 13 MAX PRO. Unfortunately, the problem persists. The fastest way to get Bluetooth to work for me is:

Settings->Bluetooth->Bluetooth On/Off. Turn Bluetooth off then Turn it back on.

Go down the list of known devices and select the device you are using. Then it connects. That works for me.

I need others to try this to see if it works for them.

Now I can’t play my music in my car. You have no idea how this impacts my day. First world problem for sure but music makes my day better and helps my mental state. Apple you need to get on this. Or at least provide a warning!

I am dealing with the same issues and have the same phone. As of 17.4.1, it will not reliably connect to either of my vehicles, forcing me to turn bluetooth off and back on. That works... sometimes. but I have had to do it more than once to finally get it to connect.

Since the latest update my iWatch connection to Iphone camera app is TERRIBLE.

Continues freezes and black screens.

Closing the apps on both devices and reopening does not even work.

Only hard resetting both devices (sometimes) works.

What an absolute bummer this. And we pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for these devices.

For years it worked well. Now it is as bad as in 2013, I remember those days.

I use it a lot for amateur movie making. And this makes it completely impossible.

I don't know what Apple has done with the latest updates for iWatch (10.4) and IOS (17.4.1) on iPhone, but it has completely messed up the connection.

Everything was great till I updated my 13 to 17.4.1

So I can connect to my car using BT but no one can hear me. This f'n terrible update has just made driving super dangerous

worst part is I'll have my earpieces in and the BT default connects to the car, so I have to disconnect from the car on the phone while driving and then it auto joins randomly

Apple WTF ARE YOU DOING?!?

When my iPhone updated to iOS 17.5.1 my bluetooth stopped working as well. I depend on an industrial noise cancelling bluetooth headset for communications because I work in a very noisy environment in a big food processing plant. Now no one can get a hold of me or vice versa when working on the plant floor. This really impacts my job. C'mon Apple, fix it. Don't make me regret buying an iPhone.

Iphone 13 pro max since updated to ios 17 tons of slowness issues and bad/poor bluetooth connection to 2013 Lexus RX.

ios 16 was much faster and soo smooth in every way and had no issues with bluetooth.

afaik cannot downgrade.

Livewire your suggestion seems to perhaps be a working work around for my iPhone 13 that none of the updates including 17.5.1 have done. So far my Fitbit watch and headphones will pair without issue.

Will see how this works with other devices and how frequently I may need to try this to deal with what Apple broke.

Thank you

Yes

Mine also isn’t working after new update, I can’t use my Bluetooth which I need for work so what are they doing to fix it??

This worked for me. Thank you
