How to Fix iPhone Not Discovering Bluetooth Devices?

Have you ever experienced issues with your iPhone not pairing or discovering Bluetooth devices, such as a car system or a Bluetooth headset? There are several common reasons for this, including OS updates, device compatibility, Bluetooth status, pairing mode, and potential hardware problems. In this article, we will outline some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

 

1. Check the Bluetooth Device

 

Ensure that the Bluetooth device is turned on and has sufficient battery. Try connecting the Bluetooth device to another phone or computer to determine if the issue lies with the device's hardware or your iPhone.

 

2. Restart Your iPhone and Bluetooth Device

 

Restart both your iPhone and the Bluetooth device you are trying to connect. Go to iPhone Settings -> General -> Shut Down, then drag the slider. Then turn iPhone back on, press and hold the side button or Sleep/Wake button (depending on your model) until the Apple logo appears.

3. Move Away from Other Devices

 

Ensure there are no other iOS device and physical obstructions there. Move your other iPhone devices and electronic devices to avoid connect the bluetooth device.

 

4. Rematch the Bluetooth Device

 

If the device has been paired previously with your iPhone, go to Settings -> Bluetooth, find the device, tap the info icon (i), and select "Forget This Device". Then try pairing again.

5. Reset iPhone Network Settings

 

Wi-Fi networks might interfere with the Bluetooth signal. Reset the network settings on your iPhone by going to iPhone Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. Note that this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords and other network settings.

By following these steps, you can often resolve issues with your iPhone not discovering Bluetooth devices.
