The current Bluetooth technology is already more advanced and yet very easy to use. In smartphones, a series of screen presses or switches allows you to pair your phone and connect it to other Bluetooth compatible accessories at your fingertips. It’s the same with the Bluetooth functions of an iPhone. However, some factors may interfere with the phone’s Bluetooth system and cause it to fail or shut down. This problem is a Bluetooth issue frequently encountered by iOS owners, especially with the recently released iPhone XR. Read on to find out what to do if your new iPhone does not connect or connect to a Bluetooth accessory.
How to connect a Bluetooth headset to an iPhone ?
Before using most Bluetooth headsets, you need to pair them with your iPhone. The first step is to place the headset in pairing mode. The procedure varies from model to model. Consult the instruction manual if you are not sure. Once in pairing mode, open Settings> Bluetooth on your iPhone.
From there, scroll to the bottom of the page and find the Other Devices section. Tap the name of the headset to complete the process. The headset will switch to the My Devices section, which indicates whether a device is currently connected to your iPhone. Pairing is a unique process and you do not have to do it again if you do not change devices or remove it from the list of pairs.
Troubleshoot Bluetooth issues on iphone
If you discover that the problem comes from your iPhone or iPad under iOS 12 – iOS 12.4.1, here are some solutions you can try:

- Turn off Bluetooth by launching the Settings app, accessing Bluetooth, and disabling the Bluetooth switch.
- Reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button (volume down button on iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) and the power button until the Apple logo appears. On iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, quickly press the volume up button. Then quickly press the volume down button and release it. Finally, hold down the side button (Sleep / Wake button) until the Apple logo appears.
- After the iOS device restarts, turn on Bluetooth again from Control Center or by launching the Settings app, go to Bluetooth, and press the toggle to turn on Bluetooth.
Try to connect to the device now. If the problem is still not resolved, try the following solution.

- Launch the Settings application and access Bluetooth.
- Tap the “i” icon next to the name of the device with which you have connection problems.
- Tap on the button “Forget this device” and confirm your action.

- Launch the Settings application and go to General> Reset.
- Press Reset Network Settings.
- You will be asked to enter your code if you have one.
