Bluetooth device won't connect to your iPhone

Turn Bluetooth off and back on, forget your device, then pair it fresh. The pairing data just got confused and needs to be cleared.

Bluetooth is how your iPhone talks to headphones, speakers, and car systems wirelessly. Sometimes the connection gets corrupted or confused, especially if something interrupts the pairing process. The fix is simple: restart Bluetooth, forget your device completely, and set it up again from scratch. Most issues are solved in under 5 minutes.
