How do I prevent Bluetooth on iPhone from randomly switching between connected devices?

I have many devices connected to Bluetooth at a time usually. When I’m in my car, I am connected via Bluetooth playing music but I also wear Rayban Meta glasses that connect to Bluetooth. I’ll be driving and out of nowhere the Bluetooth transfers to my glasses, scaring me and ruining the song and vibe. I just think these devices are too expensive to be involuntarily connecting and ultimately being out of my control.

Forget Unwanted Devices: Go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the (i) next to devices you no longer use, and select Forget This Device.

Adjust AirPods' Connection Settings: If using AirPods, navigate to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the (i) next to your AirPods, select Connect to This iPhone, and choose When Last Connected to This iPhone.

Disable Bluetooth on Other Devices: Turning off Bluetooth on devices you're not currently using can prevent your iPhone from switching connections unexpectedly.

Update iOS: Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
