Iphone 16 Pro Bluetooth Disconnecting Every Day

I have an iphone 16 Pro running IOQ 26.6.1 and my iphone losses bluetooth connection about every 12 hours. It might work int he morning but not in the evening when driving home. I use Carplay in my car and airpod pro's. The only fix is to reboot the phone or reset network connections. My hardware has been tested by Apple but no issues were found. I have not found a solution to the problem.

Hi there


Please try this


Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth.

Turn off Bluetooth permissions for every third-party app listed (e.g., smart home utilities, health trackers, streaming apps).

Monitor the phone for 24 hours. If the disconnecting stops, turn the apps back on one by one until you locate the specific software causing the interference.

I tried your suggest to disable bluetooth from all apps and now it has stayed connected. Now I just have to figure out which app is the cuprite. Thank you so much!
