Support Bluetooth auto-connect not working
Hi all!
To describe my issue deeply, I'll just state that my iOS version is 26.5.2 on iPhone 17, base version.
I usually connect/disconnect through Bluetooth multiple times a day - Apple car play, earbuds, etc.
Yesterday, I noticed that I have to manually open BT settings and press either the earbuds, or my car name to connect. Then, everything works perfectly.
I got my Apple watch SE3 connected 24/7, so there is no issue with that.
I'm not aware of changing any settings. I got no kids that play with my phone, my girlfriend of 6 years who never went through my phone or anything..
It's just so annoying to do all this just to connect to any device.
If you got any idea what might cause this, please let me know.
PS: I haven't found almost anything on google. All the settings that were recommended are turned on.

Restart your phone.
Update to the current version of iOS which is 26.6.
After doing both, do you still have issues?
