I updated my iPhone 16 to iOS 18.5 as soon as I set it up, and ever since then Bluetooth has been a disaster. My car’s hands-free (Acura) drops calls in the middle, my AirPods disconnect randomly, and my speaker won’t auto-connect at all. Sometimes the only way to get it working again is to forget the device and pair it from scratch but even then it doesn’t last.
I already tried:
-
Restarting and force restarting.
-
Reset network settings.
-
Forget/re-pair multiple devices.
Still the same problem. The weird thing is my Apple Watch stays connected without issues, but everything else fails.
Has anyone figured out a real fix for this yet?
Yep, same thing on my iPhone 15 Pro. Bluetooth was fine before 18.5, now it keeps dropping. Restart fixes it for a while, then it starts disconnecting again hoping a
pple pushes a patch soon.
