iPhone 16 Pro not connecting to Bluetooth devices

I'm having a similar issue with my iPhone 16 Pro using iOS 18. It doesn't find several of my bluetooth devices to pair with them (some do pair and work fine, but some don't). I've tried all of the suggestions that have been offered by other users here in the support community and on other websites, but nothing has worked to fix this problem. Several of my bluetooth devices are now useless because my iPhone won't pair with them. This is ridiculous that this has been going on for months and Apple has been unresponsive to users with this problem. Please fix this!

Has anyone found a solution to hearing aids not connecting on IPhone 16. Come on Apple get this sorted!

Had the same problem. iPhone 16 Pro Max connected to Apple Watch and Pioneer receiver in my car. Couldn’t even see any other Bluetooth devices. Tried standard Bluetooth fixes - didn’t work. Saw a video that suggested the following: Go to Settings - Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions. Turned on and then off the Content & Privacy Restrictions slider. Now I can see Bluetooth devices that wouldn’t show up before…

None of this advice worked.

Didn’t work for me. Come on Apple, I’m returning this phone if you don’t fix it now.

My new iPhone 16 is not connecting to ear pods or car phone

New 16 pro and cant connect to most BT devices. All Apple devices connect. Not my car, or my canon camera or starkey hearind aids.. gotta get this sorted out apple

My iphone16pro will not allow my hearing aids to pair by Bluetooth. I was told that the 16 has a software glitch. My audiologist went through some moves that Apple gave him to pair my aids. Only one was connected. I’m unable to talk on my phone unless paired. I’d like to know if Apple will get this fixed. If not, I’m going to return the 16 or keep it until fixed but require a loaner phone. It’s nonsense to think the directions given to me will pair my aids. What do they think I’ve been doing for one week over and over.

I texted with Apple support ‘s first line and they could not pair my aids. Second, I texted the expert that Apple gave me and got no response. Thirdly, my audiologist spent close to an hour trying to pair my aids. He spoke with Starkey who gave him an Apple rep or expert and finally Apple told him that their software has a glitch.

Has anyone got this fixed??? I need my music on my Marshall speaker!!! Apple what the ****? iPhones are getting more expensive and less functional?

resetting network setting didn't work for me, my skull candy ear buds won't connect to iPhone Bluetooth

I have the same problem with Omron blood pressure device BP5450. I have not yet returned my iPhone 12 and it paired just fine. My 16pro fails every time

i was able to connect my Bluetooth headphones with apple 16 pro

1. ensure your Bluetooth devices are forgotten from any other iPhone device.
2. factory reset the Bluetooth device

hope this works !! Good luck 😊

Same issue and my iPhone 16 will NOT even pair with ANY of the 8 Homepods we have. It WILL connect to my Apple watch and my Tesla.

Having the same issue. None of the advices worked for me.
