I’m trying to share a photo from my Windows phone to my mini via Bluetooth sharing. I’ve done it many times in the past with these same two devices. Now, since updating to Monterey, the two devices connect via Bluetooth, but when trying to share the file, the Window phone throws up a message that says, “Can’t Send. The device you’re trying to send to doesn’t support sharing over Bluetooth.”
Obviously the phone is obsolete, but I’m just asking if maybe I have overlooked something. I know things have changed in Bluetooth from 11.5 to 12.1, and it appears some settings may have reverted to default. For example, Bluetooth was turned on immediately after updating, and I normally keep it turned off until I need it.
Bluetooth Sharing is checked in the Sharing preferences pane, but that’s the only item checked besides Airplay Receiver. I re-paired the devices. I also removed the device from the Bluetooth preferences pane and let it be rediscovered.
Fortunately I had already transferred most of my photos off that device in preparation to transition to an iPhone, but there are a few photos I would like to get off of it, and Bluetooth is (was?) the only option available at this point. I don't have a connector, Microsoft apps don't work anymore, no memory card, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
