iPhone Bluetooth not connecting to your speaker
Bluetooth pairing has gotten corrupted. Forget the speaker from your iPhone settings, restart both devices, then pair them again. This takes two minutes and fixes it.
Bluetooth is wireless communication between devices, and like any wireless connection it gets tangled up sometimes. Your iPhone and speaker need to recognize and trust each other. If that trust is broken or out of date, they won't connect. We'll walk you through forgetting the speaker, restarting both devices, and pairing them fresh.
- ✓Check that Bluetooth is switched on on your iPhone by swiping down to Control Center
- ✓Check that your speaker is powered on and has enough battery
- ✓Check that the speaker is in pairing mode by holding its button for a few seconds until it blinks
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step, just tap, no typing needed.
Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the speaker is broken when it just needs to be restarted. Restarting both devices fixes most of these problems
- Trying to pair without putting the speaker in pairing mode first. Most speakers won't show up unless they're listening
- Checking only the speaker's battery in settings instead of physically charging it. Low battery stops Bluetooth from working
Signs you need professional help
- If you've forgotten and re-paired the speaker and it still won't connect, or if the speaker shows as connected but no sound comes out after trying the audio routing step, get in touch and we'll check if the speaker has a hardware fault.
