iPhone 6 Bluetooth range

The range of my iPhone 6 bluetooth has recently greatly diminished. It will connect to my headphones and bose system but cuts out if I move the phone more than about 10 inches away from the paired device. Prior to the issue I could walk a significant distance away from a paired device with my phone and the connection would hold. It is also starting to cut out in my car. Is there way to troubleshoot my Bluetooth range? Thanks!

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Try restoring from a backup. If that doesn't work, you might need to restore the phone as new by erasing it and installing a fresh copy of iOS. You will loose all data stored in the phone unless you back it up first.

If neither of those methods work, you might have a hardware problem, and you would need tot are the phone to an Apple Store or authorized service provider.
