Menu Bar Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Bug After macOS Tahoe 26 Update

There is a bug with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons in the menu bar. When I click the Wi-Fi icon and then try to open Bluetooth, it gets stuck and stops responding unless I open Control Center, the battery menu, or click somewhere on the screen.

Both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth menus also do not close when clicking their icons again, unlike Control Center and the battery menu.

This happens most of the time (around 4 out of 5 times).

The issue started when i updated my device to macOS Tahoe 26 and has not been fixed yet. I am currently on macOS 26.2.

MacBook Air 13″

Not seeing this on my Mac running 26.2. Note that your post references iOS (the operating system for iPhones), not macOS (the operating system for Macs) but I presume you mean the latter.

See if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode, which disables 3rd party extensions and performs some system cleanup.
