I'm having issues with Bluetooth connectivity after updating to 11.2.6. my smart watch is constantly losing connection and my headphones will play for about 5 minutes before they start skipping, or dropping connection completely. It's very frustrating and has only been happening since updating in the weekend.

I'm having the same issue! At first I thought it was my car audio system but after wireless headphones were affected, I'm beginning to think the problem lies with my phone/operating system - I'm on 11.2.6 as well. Apple, please fix this.. .uninterrupted music saves me during a work day!!!
