- Reset your network settings by navigating to Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings.
Unresponsive Display
iOS has always had unresponsive touchscreen issues and sadly, this issue surfaces on the latest iOS as well. To fix this, you will need to firstly hard reset your device. There are multiple ways to do this. If you are on the iPhone 8 or later, press and quickly release the volume down button. Then, do the same thing for the volume up button. Once that is done, hold down the power button.

Another very effective thing that you can do is reset your iPhone as a new device. However, firstly, backup your data. To do so, head over to Settings > Profile > iCloud > iCloud Backup. Now, head over to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone >Erase All Content and Settings to reset your iOS 15 device completely.
Bluetooth Not Working
Now, for the commonly reported Bluetooth not working problem with iOS 15, you need to follow very similar steps to the Wi-Fi not working bug. Firstly, head over to settings and turn your Bluetooth off and then, back on again.
Another thing you could do is forget the Bluetooth device entirely. To do so, head over to Settings > Bluetooth > “i” button located next to the Bluetooth device > Tap on Forget This Device. The last thing you can try is to reset your Network settings. Just navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Sound Glitching Out with Certain Apps
This is yet another major problem with the iOS 15. Users have been reporting that the system sound for certain apps glitches out all of a sudden. This is an issue which occurs with non-updated apps. Just update all your apps and try again. If the issue persists, just delete and install the apps. The sound glitch should be gone by now.

Many users have reported that ever since they updated to the new iOS 15, applications on their iPhones have been crashing unexpectedly. Now, these issues often occur with apps that are not up-to-date. You can try to just update your apps.
