You don't connect to Bluetooth, it is a system that allows you to 'pair’ two devices (eg iPhone and Airpods) together wirelessly. Go to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPhone, then switch on the additional device that you wish to connect (you may have to make the device send a pairing request – see the device's instruction leaflet) and wait for it to appear under 'Other devices' in your Settings' screen. If it does not appear, it may be incompatible with your iPhone. It is important to remember that it is the additional device that must send the pairing request to your iPhone and that your iPhone must understand the request for the pairing to be successful. Subsequently, the additional device should pair automatically with your iPhone as soon as you switch on that device because your iPhone will remember it. I hope this helps. Good luck.
