iPhone Bluetooth Not Connecting? Here's The Real Fix!

[@davealtham9292]

After an hour of frustration I held the power button on my headphones slightly longer and it said ‘ready to pair’ 🙌🏻 thanks so much for your help…… I’d reset my network, restarted my phone, updated my software and I was flat out of ideas until I saw this

[@ozelhassan8576]

What irritates me is: when my iPhone and iPad Pro gets their updates it always turns on Bluetooth, so irritating.

[@CrimeVid]

Absokinlutely !!

[@Taniz7683]

My game button turns on with every update

[@jimgreenhoe]

Thanks!

[@javtimestwo]

I think this video was a good review. Very practical problems with easy fixes. How about connecting bluetooth headphones to TV? Maybe you can create a video on that subject?

[@jessefernandez850]

Grate video thanks 🙏🏼 how 👍👍👍💪

[@sgs9845]

My problem: There are no devices at all in the list, my iPhone can’t find any, and I know there are devices ”in range”, very strange….

[@havefaith730]

This is my problem right now today! (In my Kevin Gates voice)… Did you ever find a fix??

[@sgs9845]

@@havefaith730No solution really, it just suddenly worked. But I think if you have tried everything and bluetooth still doesn’t work, you have to get a new phone.

[@AyushDicholkar]

@@havefaith730if u haven’t still found a solution try connecting ur Bluetooth device to another phone and then try it in ur phone it shud work

Mine too. It is very irritating 😡!

Mine also does that

[@cmudau]

This was very useful. Thanks

This helped me get iphone to connect with my Knox gear sound system. I would switch the mode on Knox to Bluetooth, but l hadn’t tried holding the mode button down while pairing. Weird thing is, l had this system paired with my iPhone previously many times but it would not appear in my BT device list or pair starting about a month ago. Anyway, thank you! Am horrible with tech since had a TIA abt 4 yrs ago, and the easiest things sometimes do not occur to me now but this got me going again. 👍👍

[@Grandma59]

Thank u.. really works on both my iPhone & Sony headphones

[@Foggjammer]

Yous guys are the only ones to get it right.👌🏻

[@suewarnes9469]

Thank you very much. Being an olden and a technophobe I found this a great help. I’ve had my iPad 10th generation for a couple of months and decided to use my headphones. Very confused until I googled. No earbud jack! Now will have to buy Bluetooth earphones. At least I now know I’m not going mad! 😂

[@HumaCorn]

I know this video is very old but honesty the very first tip helped me, thanks so much I really appreciate it, you’ve made me as a viewer very happy! :)

[@mboiko]

BT's very buggy in iOS 17+...just read through Apple's Discussion Forum. Apple knows people are not happy, but have not said when they will address the many BT issues. Many different types of devices have been randomly "un-pairing" or in some cases refusing to pair. It's not clear if it's a hardware/software/firmware problem...stay tuned.

[@Himawari-v6l]

bruh shoulda never updated to ios17

THANK YOU!! You saved my life

[@brother-frere]

I have a problem when I want to use the same headphone on my iPhone and iPad. I have to remember to turn off Bluetooth on one before the other device will attempt to connect to them. That, of course, disconnects all Bluetooth and I have to connect the headphones on the other device before restarting Bluetooth on the first device to reconnect everything else. Is there a simpler way? Could I write a shortcuts macro to do this?

[@myvideosareasmrjokez599]

I’m having the same issue too

[@susan8284]

You guys are great. Such help. Thank you!

[@TeddyBoy7796]

Excellent, my Sennheiser headphones wouldn’t connect with the new IOS 17 even though they have been paired, watched the first bit of your video about pairing and the red and blue light flashing, tried it and the light flashed red and blue (lost the instructions so didn’t have a clue how to pair) and it worked, now good to go, cheers boys, from James in England 👍🏻

[@marks6072]

You guys are the BEST... Practical advice with a bit of comedy is great!!

[@sxulsisters]

All of this and it still doesn’t work. It keeps saying it’s unsuccessful and to “turn your Bluetooth device on and make sure it’s in range. Is it js something wrong with my phone? I really hope I didn’t waste my money

Hey guys I want to switch carriers, cannot I unlock my AT&T I Phone 12 first before jumping to a new carrier without losing my service or being down for a period of time, and do you recommend a website to assist in unlocking it ? Thanks

[@bijeto]

Holy cow! Thank you!!! I was unfamiliar with pairing mode! I have an iPhone 14 that I’ve have for almost a year, and now for the first time ever, I’ve got it to pair with my little Sony speaker!

[@bijeto]

That said, over the last 11 months it connected EFFORTLESSLY to EVERY OTHER DEVICE ON THE PLANET ; my neighbors up the street TV sound bar, somebody on my blocks Beats, and 4 monitors at work.

[@ApurvaMadia]

Hey that was a lucid video. However I seem to have a unique problem. Till last week my iPhone 13 used to connect with my BMW iDrive 7 flawlessly. Suddenly last Thursday incoming and outgoing call stopped being heard, that is no volume. I can hear the calling party but my voice wouldn't go through. If I called someone, I cant hear the ringing and again the opposite party cant hear my voice. Music streaming from Apple music still works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks is advance.

I think we should also consider that what you are trying to connect, may already be connected to something else. In my case, my earbuds would not connect to my telephone because it was connected to my laptop. I had to disconnect my laptop.

I am the one that entered both of our numbers in the phonebook of the Honda Accord EX 2015. all he has to do is walk into the car, and it is paired. We are both doing Door Dash on the side. Not only that, my iPhone that is connected to DoorDash and Google Maps/volume will be nonexistent! In other words, there’s no volume, so I have to sit there and stare at my phone to know whether to take a right or left, which is dangerous! I have not done any deliveries because I’m fed up!

Have a car stereo that BT will pair with but refuses to play audio. Have tried two different iPhones, 12proMax and iPhone14, same result. I think there must have been some security fix nonsense for a vulnerability that nobody will ever be affected by. In any case the stereo is bricked because it's too old for any firmware updates. All this talk about 'green' this and that and we're still trashing electronics like there is no tomorrow.

I just got a new pair of Bluetooth headphones from 5 and below. The bass jaux. It has never been paired. The headphones will go into pairing mode, meaning it's flashing blue and red, and my iPhone will register the headphones, but when I press it to pair, it says the pair is unsuccessful. Nothing I have done has worked. I've turned off and on both devices, and charged both I dont know why it won't work
