Bluetooth crashing settings app

Since I have updated to IOS 12 every time I try to go into the bluetooth menu the settings app crashes and kicks me back to the home screen. Anyone else having this issue?

iPhone X, iOS 12

My wife had exactly the same problem with her iPhone 8. The solution was all ready given two years back, from this thread:


Bluetooth settings on iPhone crashes settings


To make a long story short, here are the steps I followed:

  1. Forget all your devices
  2. Come out of bluetooth settings
  3. Go into bluetooth settings Miraculously, 2 old 'phantom' devices (heart rate monitors) showed up that I have long since stopped using or lost
  4. Notice now you can come and go as you please without any crashes
  5. Forget all miracle devices
  6. Notice now you can still come and go as you please without any crashes
  7. Pair your devices as and when you need them

Keep in mind that you have to select airplane mode, in order to enter settings menu without crashing.
