Restart Bluetooth
If the Bluetooth on your iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 crashed all of a sudden or unexpectedly started malfunctioning, try restarting it first before jumping into major fixes. You can toggle the Bluetooth on and off from the Control Centre or restart it from Settings. Here’s how.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Bluetooth.
Step 2: Turn the toggle bar next to ‘Bluetooth’ off and then on.
Restart your iPhone
A quick restart takes care of all the background issues and software glitches that may be keeping your iPhone from functioning properly. If restarting your phone’s Bluetooth doesn’t work, try restarting your phone instead. This should be the first step in resolving any functional issue on your phone. To restart your iPhone, simply press one of the volume buttons along with the side key until the power slider appears on the screen. Drag the power slider to the right to turn off your iPhone. Power the phone back on by pressing and holding the side key.
Forget the Device
If you’re having trouble with a previously connected device, forget the device and pair it again. In order to do this, go to the Bluetooth menu in Settings and select the device that’s giving you issues. Tap on ‘Forget this device’ and try pairing it again with your iPhone. You will be asked to match the pin like the first time you paired the device.
Reset Network Settings
Resetting the network settings on your iPhone restores all connections to their default settings. Any devices paired to your Bluetooth and WiFi will be deleted and you will need to pair them again. Any customised settings will also be set to default. Here’s how you can reset network settings on your iPhone.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select General.
Step 2: Scroll down and select ‘Transfer or reset iPhone’.
Step 3: Select ‘Reset’ followed by ‘Reset Network Settings’.
Update iOS Version
If the Bluetooth on your iPhone isn’t working due to a software bug, it will quickly be fixed in the next software update. It is highly likely that the update has already been published and is waiting to be downloaded to your phone. To update iOS to its latest version, go to Settings>General>Software Update and download the update.
Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings
You can try performing a factory settings reset on your iPhone to fix the Bluetooth issue. Before you proceed, make sure you back up all your personal data on the device as you will lose it in the process. Here’s how you can restore your iPhone 13 or 14 to its factory settings.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select General.
Step 2: Scroll down and select ‘Transfer or Reset iPhone’.
