Bluetooth showing unavailable

[danzini]

updated iphone 7 to iOS 12 and Bluetooth is now showing “unavailable” and switching itself to “off” and back to “unavailable” constantly rotating.

I tried a hard reboot, clean install through iTunes and nothing is helping.

Any ideas?

Maybe install fresh using DFU mode? I remember someone doing it with 11.4 back when people were reporting battery drain and it had fixed his issue when everything else failed.

Same bluetooth issue with my iPhone 7 plus. I also tried all of the resets.

I had to roll back to ios 11 and use an old backup. ugh. but at least I know its not a hardware issue

Having the same issue. No type of reset or complete restore has fixed this. Any new ideas?

I've already contacted Apple Support about it. They told me to either restore as a new phone, or take it in for service if that doesn't work.

I can confirm that the issue goes away if you restore the phone as new.
