Bluetooth not working on IPhone XS

I am having the same issue with my XS 256GB, it won't remember my car for it's blue tooth connection, I have to repair and set it up every time I want to use it in my car, my previous phone (iPhone 8 Plus) didn't have this issue, I also noticed this morning that the XS fails to notice some blue tooth devices completely. Hope this is something that gets fixed in a patch later, consider that enormous price tag this time around.

Did You find out what is causing the problem - I have similar but in may case during calls my microphone stops working after a minute or so. Person I talk to doesn't hear me at all. Same with voice memo - jutro stops recording so I think problem lies within bluetooth firmware - iPhone 7 running iOS 12 runs flawlessly.

I too am having a problem. New iPhone Xs won't connect to Bose QC35 ii headphones. Phone doesn't seem to be recognized by the app or the headphones through the IOS. I have tried all suggestions for turning on / off bluetooth, restarting both the iPhone and the headphones, Airplane mode toggle on and off, etc.

I’ve been having the same issues. My bluetooth has been saying “unavailable”. I preordered the phone and got it the day it came out. It worked the first day, but after that first day, the Bluetooth has said “unavailable”. Went to the Apple store last Thursday, they said it was a problem with the phone, switched it out with a brand new phone. That phone worked from Thursday til Monday, then the Bluetooth on this phone says the same thing, “unavailable”. Pretty aggravating.

I had the same bluetooth problems with my XS. It connected to my car for a short time then disconnected by itself.

I paired it many times and it kept on disconnecting. I returned the phone to apple for a refund. I have never had that problem with my 7 Plus.

I never had any problems with my 7 plus either. But I have a Nissan, and they are not yet compatible with the new iPhones. I called Nissan directly and asked if it just was a Firmware update, and they said no, that they weren’t compatible with the new iPhones yet.

I have the same Problem.

Bluetooth doesnt work correctly with my IPhone XS 256 GB and my Apple Watch Series 3. it seems to be connected for some seconds, than it disconnects. Settings Page tells me that my iPhone is connected, than some Moments later it changes to disconnected. My watch says everytime that there is in Connection to my IPhone.

My Mazda and some more BLuetooth Devices can‘t be found on my iPhone in the bluetooth Settings.

Having same issue with iPhone XS max and the stereo (non-navigation unit) in my 2015 Subaru WRX. Previously, I had a iPhone 7 Plus which the pairing worked fine. I also upgraded the iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 12 and the pairing was still working fine.

I received the iPhone XS Max, set it up using iCloud backup but was unable to pair with my stereo system. I reset the stereo system bluetooth settings and re-paired my phone through bluetooth but that did not solve the issue as well. I've tried forgetting my car stereo in the iPhone bluetooth settings while also restarting the phone but that was unable to solve the issue.

Just updated to IOS 12.0.1 and my bluetooth problem has not been fixed.

My XS Max will connect to the car and work until you turn the car off.

When you turn the car back on it won't auto connect you have to connect it manually.

This problem never happen with my 7 Plus.

I have the same problem. Bluetooth voice audio and Siri work fine, but it doesn't present itself as a receiver for bluetooth audio streaming to the head unit. iPhone XS Max on IOS 12.0.1 with Chevrolet car.

iPhone 7 and iPad both work perfectly with the same car

I am having the same issue. I picked up the Iphone X S Max about a week ago. Before upgrading I had the iPhone 8 plus; which worked great with all my Bluetooth devices. Now, my Bluetooth connects drops after about 1 min to 1 min and 45 sec. I have tried all the trouble shooting steps and replaced the phone yesterday (Oct. 14, 2018). I am still having the same issue. Today (Oct. 15, 2018) I asked a friend that has the 7 plus to connect to my radio; his phone has done the same thing. I truly believe it is a software issue.

I have an iPhone Xs Max and it is not connecting to my Montblanc Summit watch. When I tried to unpair and Re pair it, it discover it, but after clicking the “pair” button, it becomes unavailale (with the the updated wear OS). It was working fine previously with my iPhone 6+ with iOS 11.4]. I also have problems using the Bluetooth connection to play music from my phone in my car (Porsche cayenne 2012) it disconnects spontaneously. I was hoping things will be fixed with iOS 12.0.1, but it still not working ! frustratingly.

I had the same problem with my new iPhone XS. I had transferred everything over from my iPhone 7. It wasn’t until I went back to my iPhone 7 and unpaired/forgot all of my previously paired devices and then turned Bluetooth on my old iPhone that I was able to connect to my Bluetooth devices on my new phone.

I just got off an hour long phone call with apple support, there is a work-around that helped with the connection with my car, that you could give a try (it didn't help with connection to portable blue-tooth speakers). Go into your settings, general, and finally about; there will be a selection at the top of that settings screen with "Name", change the name of your iPhone, that seemed to work for me. Support said that they think this issue will be corrected with iOS 12.1, as 12.0.1 didn't really help.

I’ve also been having some Bluetooth problems with the iPhone XS to the point where I may be returning it. I’ve paired the phone to my car and it works when I first pair it but the next day, the Bluetooth fails to work with my car unless I delete it from both my car and the phone and then repair it. I know it’s the phone and not my car because my previous iPhone 7 Plus worked without any problems. For a phone with the price point that the iPhone XS has, there is no reason for it to be having as many issues as have been reported.
