These are all the apps I use with bluetooth.

Thank you for providing that. Can you one by one disable Bluetooth access then see if the Bluetooth accessory disappears?

In these cases this Bluetooth accessory has been paired via an app of yours which only communicates with that one app. They must be explicitly setup and within a few feet to operate. These are usually Smart watches and health monitoring devices. So figure out which app that is, you can go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Bluetooth > Disable access to apps and see if it goes away. Here’s what I found from the names of your Bluetooth accessories. Chipolo is the name of an item-tracking device that tracked through Find My. S21 is the name of a Samsung phone.

Remove all installed Google apps, restart, and test again.

Others and I have found that if you disable the app that is causing this Bluetooth connection it should disappear. Please take a look at the apps that you have Bluetooth access granted and let us know what they are.

That is the issue, this issue is present only when driving around other vehicles. I’m sure OP would also agree repeatedly disabling bluetooth for several apps over and over would genuinely take a week if not more.

However, I will try to disable every app at once and see if the issue is fixed.

Let me know if that works. And if it does, you’ll then have to one by one turn off Bluetooth and check to narrow it down. That should only take a few minutes.

It appears that you are experiencing some unusual issues with your iPhone. Have you attempted to restart the device to determine if the problems persist?

If the issues continue, it would be advisable to reach out to Apple support for assistance. This situation appears to warrant their attention, as it may be a security concern in my opinion

This happens to my phone too. I have contacted Apple multiple times and every time they have me run a bunch of tests then they tell me it’s a bug and that they’re aware and working on it.

unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a fix and Apple doesn’t seem to care to fix the bug in a timely manner.

It’s doing the same thing to me and I turn off my bluetooth and turn it back to reconnect and it instantly just connects to the other phone again and my music won’t play when it’s connected to the phone

I’ve tried contacting Apple for the same issue and their solution was resetting my device which is obviously not a fix

The issue was not fixed despite every app having bluetooth connections disabled
