iOS 18 Bluetooth Connection problems

i did a “forget this device” to everything Bluetooth except my watch s there were no issues with that. I reconnected my car, my ear buds and have not had issues since then

Restarting your phone will fix the issue for 4 or 5 hours.

Can you confirm your Bluetooth is working 24 hours after you took these steps with apple?

still Problem not resolved, actually I faced issue after update of 18.0.1 only

Twice reset to factory settings but no improvement found

Yeah this hasn't helped me either

is Apple aware? This makes me so angry in the morning when it doesn’t connect to CarPlay

Same! I have a bmw too. I wanna scream sometimes

I also have this problem recently.

I'm having the same issue with my Dexcom CGM beeping at me saying bluetooth connection lost, apple watch not syncing properly, whoop band not pairinng, and AirPods randomly disconnecting when media is playing since updating to stable final release iOS 18.0

Just bought iPhone 16pro. Downloaded 18 iOS update and no Bluetooth. My phone is advertised as “blazing fast” but it is sluggish. Google won’t let me listen to YouTube music because I can’t say yes the number is correct to suit them. I really wish Apple could do an update without ruining what works. What’s worse is I can’t talk on my phone because my hearing aids won’t pair with Bluetooth

We also have same issue. My daughter’s new iPhone 16 Pro Max starts to have Bluetooth connection issue today, either disconnecting her Apple Watch or Dexcom CGM. Many people like us using Bluetooth to connect medical devise. This is a critical issue. Apple please fix it.

my Pods randomly disconnect from my iPhone to other devices in the house and I’m the only one on ios18, also kids can no longer connect to my hotspot, CarPlay issue also. Why is Apple being quiet on this one??

TY, Brian! It did work. It's a simple yet definitive solution.

Shame on you, Apple. Please do more quality control before rolling out your software! Audio shortcuts should be an excellent solution. I was trying to use them, but now I have to cancel them.

Same. Figured it was an ios18 issue since I just updated. Can't play spotify through my Bluetooth speaker as I have for years...including just before the 18 upgrade. Spotify plays a few seconds of the song and then just tries to load/buffers. Very frustrated!

I'm having the same issue. My Powerbeats pros randomly disconnect and so does the Apple Watch. The watch is updated to ver. 11. I have read to shut off Vocal Shortcuts, but mine was already off. I haven't tried anything else, like disconnecting or anything.
