iPhone SE iOS 15.1, 15.2. 15.3 bluetooth connectivity issues

Hi, since 15.1 onwards my SE (1st gen) is experiencing bluetooth connection issues to any car or blutooth speaker/headphones.


Audio playback is being sent a play/pause signal every few seconds - the phone display shows this, using iTunes and Spotify.


Phone calls, the phone is 'put down' shortly after starting a call.


Hey Siri, cancels Siri within seconds while still asking something.


I've tried resetting and removing all bluetooth connections which has made no difference.


No physical contact with the phone, but the phone acts like you're stopping playback or ending a call etc - only while connected to bluetooth devices.

If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory and iOS or iPadOS device are close to each other.
  2. Turn your Bluetooth accessory off and back on again.
  3. Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is on and fully charged or connected to power.
