iPhone Audio Delay/miss on Bluetooth in Google maps and Music ?


Many iPhone 7, XS,12 Pro Max users are facing issue with delay in starting Bluetooth and causing issue like late response from Google Maps or missing starting message like instead of saying “In 100 meter turn right” it says “..Turn right” only. Some time the Google Map cut off for first couple of seconds which is very weird. 


The Bluetooth delay in Apple maps and Google Maps started after iOS 14, prior to iOS 14 directions were clearly announced, no delay. Now with 14 I miss the first portion of direction. The issue seems to be across different cars like Tesla, Mercedes etc and there is terrible delay in maps.
