iOS 18 Bluetooth Connection problems

Is anyone experiencing Bluetooth problems like me? After some time, connected devices like Apple Watch disconnects and connects every minute, and new devices that should connect like CarPlay don't even connect. I got this also during beta and tried disconnects and repair, network settings reset and reinstalling from iCloud Backup. Nothing worked, only doing a hard reboot. Then it works for half a day until the bug strikes again. Very annoying....

I have the same problem connecting to my car Bluetooth after updating to the new iOS. Really annoying!

Well, I shouldn't say "fixed", but it seems better in that it glitches less often.

Thanks, this worked for me. However, updated to 18.0.1 fixed the issue with Vocal Shortcuts enabled as well.

100% fixed my frustrating issues ! Thank you. Spent way too much time on this. Happy to finally find a fix.

After I saw this I realized I started having my problems right after I set up some vocal shortcuts! I just turned it off and hopefully my problems will finally go away!! Thank you so much!

I’m having issues controlling volume during playback with iPhones volume keys

I had the same issue. The issue for me was that I’d run out of Apple cloud storage! I deleted a backup to free space on Apple Cloud and then it worked.
