Ever since I got iPhone 13 my Bluetooth devices are lost

[machenryr]

Forgive me if this has been covered already. I have a few of those JBL Bluetooth audio devices. I love to listen to podcasts. But ever since I upgraded to iPhone 13 from 6 Plus none of my four audio BT work. They never come up as discoverable devices. Is this a thing? Do I have to do or are the devices too old?

Often certain Bluetooth devices need to be paired to a new device. Don’t know if that’s the case with your gadgets.

OK. It's weird that none of them come up. I don't know how to pair them when they don't come up in the list of bluetooth devices. Am I missing something in understanding this? Thank you.

On most devices you need to press and hold a button to make them discoverable. I assume you did that?

 

[machenryr]

I did that.

 

[Mr.Blacky]

I did that.

Sometimes it helps if you make a device discoverable, going out of Bluetooth settings on your phone and going back in again.

Or toggle Bluetooth off and then on again.

Yeah. Nothing is working. I mean WTH??

Try turning off Bluetooth, turn off your Bluetooth devices, restart your phone. Turn Bluetooth on in the phone. Turn on your Bluetooth devices.

If that does not work, you could call Apple Support and/or JBL support.

Thank you. I’ve done this multiple times. I guess it’s apple support!
