Another step to try is disconnecting and reconnecting to a problematic Bluetooth device. Once again, head to Settings > Bluetooth. Select the specific Bluetooth device and then choose Disconnect.

4. Forget a Device and Pair Again

In the Settings > Bluetooth menu, select the device. On the next page, choose Forget This Device. Then go through the pairing process with the Bluetooth device again.

5. Try to Pair the Bluetooth Device to Another iPhone
