ios 15 pro ios 18.2.1 bluetooth and network issues

since updating to ios 18.2.1 i have to reboot my phone at least once a day as it drops the ability to run on wifi networks. also, it drops or has very spotty bluetooth connection. it drops connection to my headset forcing either a reboot to reconnect. worst of all is any headset or speakers i have that have party connect such as my inbetween pro earbuds or my altec lansing bluetooth speakers will play very choppy until i disconnect one of them. so i can use only 1 at a time. anybody else having this type of issues, any fix in the works?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

I'm aware I may have to perform a recovery. I also did not directly say IOS 18.2.1 caused the issue. I stated that since updating, I have had the issues and was wondering if anybody else has had them. I have checked on several other forums outside of Apple and have seen complaints on them about these types of issues with "fixes". I have tried various methods with no luck.

As far as checking the settings, please let me know what settings in the iphone will cause the bluetooth to malfunction. I will give you an example of what it is doing. I have have airpods model a2031. I can use the left one by itself or the right one by itself. if i use both at the same time the audio becomes choppy. I have a pair of inbetween pro earbuds. They are doing the exact same thing. I have a pair of altec lansing hydrawave speakers with party connect. they do the exact same thing. They all worked perfect before updating to IOS 18.2.1.

With my wifi, if i do not physically use my phone for a few hours, it will show connected to my router but will lose network access. turning off wifi and turning it back on does not help. switching to a different router does not help. even turning off wife and trying to use it on 5G does not help. I have to reboot the phone to get any form of network access back. This was not an issue before IOS 18.2.1.

Again, I know I may have to restore from a backup or just wipe and start over. If this is a known issue that may might be in the process of working on i may opt to wait. This is why I asked.
