Yeah. My APP2 has been cutting out for a second whenever I open an app or turn the display on/off. It’s a horrible experience, waiting for a firmware (or software) update.
Same. Cutting out when entering lock screen mode. Sound stops. Then restarts. Every time you enter or exit lock screen.
I have just disabled Vocal Shortcuts. I’ll update you with more info (if the problem’s fixed or not)
Thanks a lot such a relief 🥲. Turning off the vocal shortcuts solved the issue for me. Even my car play music issue got sorted with this.
thanks a lot
Restarting iphone, forgetting beats pros and reconnecting bests pros will TEMPORARILY fix the problem. Try using them the next day and same problem recurs. Apple F’d this up w ios 18
It seems to be most persistent when the screen enter screen energy save mode on its own. If a podcast i playing, it cuts the sound every time screen wakes up or goes to sleep.
This happens with both airpods pro 2 gen and airpods 2 gen
I’ve been having this issue with my airpod maxes on my iPad ever since I updated it to 18.0.1. My airpods won’t duel connect with my iPad and any of my other devices, its bluetooth is always freaking out, and my ipad overall has been extremely glitchy; enough to the point where I am considering getting rid of it. I am so sick of these problems ever major update and as a student I don’t have time for them
I share your sentiment of disappointment. After nine years
of using Samsung, I recently switched back to Apple, but I'm not experiencing
the luxury, user-friendliness, or innovative solutions I expected. Instead,
I've encountered poor software design and outdated hardware.
It's crucial to thoroughly test updates to prevent
disconnection issues. While features like gesture control are interesting, they
don't outweigh the problems caused by disconnections. If discontinuing such
options resolves these issues, I believe it would be worth considering.
iPhone 15pro and APP with the same issue, extremely annoying! Please fix it ASAP
Can’t connect with airpod
Same thing happened to me! Fortunately, it just fixed itself one day and never came back. Are your AirPods updated?
Ditto, mine are almost unusable at the minute with the interference and cutouts.
My issues have stopped, must have been either from an airpod update or Iphone update (I’m running the latest dev update). Whichever, the airpods are now back to their normal trusted behaviour! Phew!
I just upgraded my ipad to ipadOS 18, and got the 16 pro max, since getting the new phone, my airpods pro 2 have had auto connectivity issues with both the ipad and the phone. and if i change the way i am using my airpods while watching youtube specifically like taking one out or putting another airpod in, it keeps pausing the video. the only way to “fix” this issue is have found is to take out the airpods and put them back in the case, then manually reconnect the airpods to the ipad and closing out the app and re opening it. please help 😭
This now seems to me like a phone IOS18 issue. I’m experiencing the same sound interruption with whatever speaker it is connected to (and even just the phone). I only noticed on the AirPods at first, but as soon as I got in the car on the weekend, it is there to. So hence I tested only the phone, and it is there as well. When the screen sleeps or wakes up, the sound cuts out.
I have another issue with my AirPods after iOS 18 update! Both AirPod are able to connect through Bluetooth and show battery but cannot play sound together when I try to listen to a call or music, only one AirPod is able to play sound at any time: if I take either side out, the other side will work if I replay the music, but once I put the AirPod back into my ear, they cannot work together. I’ve already tried resetting the AirPod connection. (The #1 AirPod is now renamed to be #3 on my device list). What else can I try?
