Bluetooth sound issue with vocal shortcuts in iOS 18 on iPhone

Hello,

after updating to IOS18, there was a problem with the sound in the car via Bluetooth, the music from the player plays quietly and the sound is hoarse, very bad. I read that the problem is due to "Vocal Shortcuts". I have this function turned off, but when I click on "Set up Vocal Shortcuts" in the menu (without any further action), the sound is turned off and when I click on "play" in the player again, the sound is played in standard good quality. But as soon as the phone screen is locked, the sound quality is bad again.

I connected another iPhone via Bluetooth, tried other players, and on other machines, but the problem is the same in all cases.

I looked on the Internet that people have been writing about this problem since September 2024, but half a year has passed, and Apple has not solved the problem.

Please let me know when this problem will be solved? Either remove this almost useless "Vocal shortcuts" feature, or give users the option to choose the IOS version if someone doesn't like these updates (by the way, I don't like the new design either).

After such updates, sometimes you think about changing Apple to another product.
