TraceTogether Bluetooth issues?

I have been getting a lot of random disconnection between my iPhone and AirPods ever since I started leaving TraceTogether app running in the background

One of the reasons is because when my AirPods get disconnected, and I immediately open my settings->Bluetooth, I would see that I have random mobile phones connected to my device via Bluetooth, be it iOS or android phone.
Also this problem only occurs when I’m in crowded places, like on the train.

Does anyone else encounter such issues?

Same.

My AirPod pro was working fine all along since last year oct.

Until lately then randomly disconnect by its self.


Maybe new iOS is lousy
Or maybe TT sucks

The TT app has for the longest time been reminding me to turn on Bluetooth even though its on 🙄 Reinstall didn’t help. But touchwood so far my airpod pro not affected.

TT app is causing my Apple Watch disconnected from my iPhone. I have to restart both devices to establish link again. Notice this happened after I went to super crowded places with 100+ TT devices nearby. Maybe there is a cap on how many bluetooth devices can be connected at one time?

This TT app is notorious for causing Bluetooth issues with paired devices. If you want a seamless connection with AirPods, you have to delete the app.

Not sure if this is a bug or software/hardware limitation

When your AP/APP gets disconnected, try quickly going into the Bluetooth screen. You might see random mobile phones connected to your device, which I am guessing is due to TT

And yes, this happens when there are a lot of people around me too

That's why I used TT on my other iPhone, so as not to cause issues.

The performance of the TT app is inconsistent. Not all phones with TT installed will have interference with other bluetooth devices such as smartwatch and wireless earphones. I am using iphone 11 paired with airpods pro and apple watch series 4. TT keep interfering my bluetooth devices at crowded places.

On the other hand my sister doesn't face such issues on her Galaxy S10 Lite paired with her Galaxy buds and Galaxy Watch Active 2. There are no random disconnections even at crowded places with TT installed.

Touch wood but 11 Pro Max user here with TT installed & so far no issues with AirPod Pro & Apple Watch 6 (non sim).

And i use TT constantly for SafeEntry too. What i do get (long time liao) is occasional reminders from TT to keep bluetooth on when its already on 🙄 Irritating but nothing major.
