iPhone 16 Bluetooth headphones do not ring after update 27.2

I have a iphone 16 and since we have had the update 27.2 my bluetooth headphones do not ring. I have done every thing that apple says to do to reconnect and have no luck. I can still talk through the head phones its just they do not ring. Any help i would be very grateful. Thank you

Hi there

Please try this

Check Call Audio Routing:

1. Open Settings > Accessibility > Touch.
2. Tap Call Audio Routing.
3. If it is set to Automatic, switch it to Speaker, then change it back to Automatic to force the system to recalibrate the audio path.

Reset Network Settings:
- Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This clears out lingering Bluetooth and network glitches without deleting personal data, though you will need to re-pair your Bluetooth devices afterward.
Perform a Force Restart:

1. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
2. Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
3. Press and hold the Side/Power button until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears.
