Bluetooth keeps disconnecting from headphones or speaker
Bluetooth drops are caused by old pairing data, battery saving features, or interference. Forgetting the device and re-pairing it fixes this for most people in about 2 minutes.
Your Bluetooth device connects but then drops because the pairing data has become corrupted, a battery optimization setting is forcing the disconnection, or something on your network is interfering. We'll start by removing the device completely and pairing it fresh.
