How do I fix Bluetooth connection issue on my iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 18?

Is anyone experiencing Bluetooth problems like me? After some time, connected devices like Apple Watch disconnects and connects every minute, and new devices that should connect like CarPlay don't even connect. I got this also during beta and tried disconnects and repair, network settings reset and reinstalling from iCloud Backup. Nothing worked, only doing a hard reboot. Then it works for half a day until the bug strikes again. Very annoying....

Please try this. It worked for me.


Turns out is was because the new feature Vocal Shortcut is turned on.


The issue was resolved when i turn the Vocal Shortcut off.


Settings > Accessibility > Vocal Shortcuts, turn it off.

iphone 16 pro, iod 18.2.1 My airpod Pros have been not wanting to connect. I have removed them from my phone and reset the airpods and repaired. Intermittently, they will not want to connect. Wireless carplay will not connect at times as well. If I have my airpods in and get in the car, it will never connect to carplay. This was not a problem in the past. Apple, please provide an update for us. Are you actively working on this? An acknowledgement of the issue would be great.
