iOS 14 bluetooth problem

I've got a iPhone 8 plus, running ios14.2 and had the same problem with my Bose Soundlink Color 2. I disconnected the phone from the speaker, cleared the speakers connects and reconnected the speaker to the phone. once they were reconnected i began streaming music to the speaker, no music. At that time I pushed the input button on the speaker one time and music began playing off the phone. I pushed the input button on the speaker again and the music began playing on the speaker.
A long road to walk to get the speaker to work with my phone, but it worked.

Bluetooth has been extremely buggy with the latest iOS release. It's beyond frustrating to spend so much money on quality hardware only for a SW glitch to ruin the experience with an update.

I've tried updating the headphone firmware, updating iOS to the latest 14.3 version, updating the apps, restarting the device, removing and reconnecting the device, playing audio from different apps, soundcloud, spotify and Apple music and the issue persists on all.

I can confirm that this is an iOS problem as this does not happen when using Mac OS.
My issue is a slight skip or jitter, almost as if there is a latency problem, I see this when casting video from a computer to a TV and the solution is to create a small buffer. I would not mind a buffer if it meant that my audio was slightly behind if it guaranteed that I had no skips.
I hope they fix this soon because its a really poor listening experience.

Just yesterday i upgread to 14.3 ISO on my iphone X problem is same frequent disconnected problem
specially when put near to iphone connected and with in one minute rather using or not dissconnected
any solution for that???

i am having the same problem on my iphone 11 with IOS 14.3. my soundcore speaker, my Belkin stereo bluetooth, and my air pod headphones are all dropping or even losing connection. it’s sometimes brief blips but it stops music and sometimes cuts off entirely. not a problem before i upgraded to the new IOS... everything worked fine

Its honestly a joke how terrible they are to fix things, honestly... i regret changing to ios, at least on android u might try to fix it urself and maybe that bluetooth problem has to do with codecs... android supports a bunch of codecs and u can manually change it if needed or its causing any problem.

my bluetooth earbuds is cutting audio very often, yet on an android it plays perfectly.

Guess i just threw money away ugh...

has anyone found a fix to this issue

As i understand i need downgrade to this version and this bug will be fixed?
I Have iPhone XR

Has anyone solved this problem? Or have to wait new iOS version?

I am facing the same issue on an iPhone 6s ever since updating to iOS 14 (now on 14.4). Every pair of bluetooth headphones I try, get disconnected if you separate 1 meter or if you move with respect to the phone.

I found a temporary solution the an apple forum (I cannot find the link right now) which consisted on enabling the personal hotspot. That would temporarily fix the issue. But again, after some minutes, it is back to unstable.

It's very annoying.

Please, Apple, fix this issue. I used my AirPods Pro for one day before updating to ios14. I got to successfully use my AirPod pros for 1 day before this Bluetooth issue of connecting and disconnecting every 10 seconds began.

Apparently, this has been an issue since iOS 14 was released. Why is this issue still not fixed a year later? this is unacceptable on so many levels and makes me hesitant to purchase another product, given the lack of customer service I’ve received and experienced on this matter.

I have a pair of Sony WH1000XM4 headphones, and on both my iphone 11 and my ipad pro, the music cuts off for half a second and then starts again. This never happened on my old ipod touch, so it's definitely a fault with ios 14.

I have a airpod 2 and iphone 8 plus. I’m using ios 14.3 right now, also tried 14.4 beta 1 and noting changes. All sound activities cuts off for half a second then starts again(music, youtube, netflix etc). Sometimes the sound cuts out completely and does not come again without disconnecting and re-pairing the airpods. I noticed this problem happens when I use 5 ghz wifi. If I use the wifi 2.4 ghz band, there is no sound interruption. By the way I tried same airpods on iphone 6s ios 13.7 and works fine. Note: force restart the phone, restoring iphone, resetting airpods not work.
Sorry for bad english.

My Bluetooth keyboard also working slowly under 14.x. It worked perfectly on 12.x. Really regret to upgrade IOS.

Turn off (COVID) exposure notifications in settings.
Settings > Exposure Notifications
I did that and car stereo and other devices went back to normal connectivity.
Seems having it on creates a conflict with device connection.

WH1000XM3 headphones simply aren't found in bluetooth options after update to 14.3
They're still available to connect on my laptop no problem. (older macbook pro).
Come on Apple. Bluetooth support should be an obvious and simple one in this day and age.
