iPhone Bluetooth not connecting to your speaker
Nine times out of ten this is just because Bluetooth needs to be reset. Forget the speaker from your iPhone settings, restart both devices, then pair them again. This takes two minutes and fixes it for most people.
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 If that trust is broken or out of date, they won't connect.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.
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 80% 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
