iOS 18 Bluetooth Connection problems

Same here, iPhone 15 pro max, perfect phone ruined after iOS 18 upgrade and now phone warranty also expired :(

Apple watch will disconnect periodically, tesla phone key is not working. Restart will fix issue temporary, wipeout and restore did not work:(

I thought it’s my phone only. I tried everything including unpairing my AirPod Pro, forgetting the devices and Network Resetting. Nothing seems to work for long. Unfortunately now I’m not able to pair back my AirPod as somehow the case back button doesn’t seem to work. I’m left with a useless AirPod Pro 🤬

I was having the same glitchy problem with my Wonderboom 2 speakers since I upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max with ios 18, but when I "forgot" the speaker and then re-connected it, the problem was fixed.

The same issue is on the iPhone 14 Pro Max running the latest iOS 18.0.1. Cannot pair with a bike GPS computer Hammerhead Karoo 2. It simply doesn't show up in the Bluetooth devices search list.

At the same time old iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 15 was able to find and pair gps computer successfully.

Hi everyone just bought a new 15pro 1TB on 2nd octobet. The device was on iOS 17.1 when arrivrd. My phone was slow and not responsive at times. All freezed hile using whatsapp. The updated to 17.7 the next day. After that I could see my battery percentage was really good. On standby at night when kept idle on 55 percent went down to 54 percent only. I was amazed but now when the apple executive at the apple service center as well as the person on the call said it's better If I pdate to the latest 18.0.1 i did it. I was very hesitant at first but i still took their advice, and now I'm facing many issues like battery is draining fast on my regular usage. As well as when connected to my car audio through Bluetooth before the update it was totally fine the other person could hear me but not its very bad, the other person can't hear me. When i started to talk to the apple support on call in my car she said I'm sounding robotic and not clear at all which was not the case prior to the update. Kindly give me a solution. This is my first apply phone and a horrible experience. Android is such a pleasant experience and things are done faster. I hope apple proces me wrong. The price i paid for this was huge so it needs to be justified.

Hi, have you found a solution? I no longer receive a text notification message on my cars screen (2017 equinox). I do not use CarPlay just Bluetooth. I have tried everything except taking to a dealership. I have an iphone15 with IOS 17.7. I am afraid to update to the IOS18

Just installed 18.0.1 on my 16 Pro. Still will not pair with my '18 Cadillac. Phone sees the bluetooth, has a matching pairing number, but when pairing initiated does not install into the CUE system. Phone says it's paired, but CUE says it's not. All my previous iPhones paired immediately. Apple: Ask Apple Intelligence how to fix it - please!

Hello,

I recently upgraded from iPhone 12 to 16 pro. Since the switch I cannot get my phone to pair with my 2019 Cadillac XTS. The blue tooth is normally easy to setup. The car also has a USB connection and although it will charge the phone no other service work (Apple Car Play). Hopefully Apple can make updates/repairs to fix this - my upgrade feels more like a downgrade.

i've had issued since ios 18 public, still on 18.0.1, but not like yours, my airpods stay connected, but whenever i stop using them, when i try to use them again it doesn't connect to my phone, i need to stop bluetooth and start it to get the airpods to work. also brand new airpods 4, and it happened to my girl on her ipad. very frustrating

Hi! Turning OFF the "Vocal Shortcuts" (Settings\Accessibility\Vocal Shortcuts [under SPEECH]) helped with the issue of Bluetooth Audio turning off and on a split second. Fixed BT issues for CarPlay as well.

HOWEVER, after updating to 18.0.1 fixed the issue for myself with "Vocal Shortcuts" enabled. Hope that helps.

EDITED: Thanks, this worked for me. Updated to 18.0.1 fixed the issue with Vocal Shortcuts enabled as well. HOWEVER, when Vocal Shortcuts are enabled, CarPlay is still pretty buggy. I can't switch between Apple Music and Radio. When I try to switch to my car's Radio option, it says, "Feature Currently Unavailable." Seems like Apple Music is "hung-up" during the switch.

since update bluetooth connection to my hearing aids is unstable during phone calls • disconnecting and reconnecting several times a minute • hopefully fixed soon • did not occur prior to update with same devices

As reported earlier, my problem is with the bluetooth connection to my hearing aids • I tried two of the suggestions given (turning Vocal Shortcut off and resetting network settings) without result • hoping the next update will solve the issue • thanks

My phone to my ear buds suddenly has started to break up. I can’t have my phone in my pocket sometimes … I’m talking gym ware clothing. If I move around my small nyc apartment the blue tooth has suddenly started to break up to speakers. NOT BUYING A NEW IPHONE to fix this bs
