iPad Air 2 / IOS 12.3.1 / iPad Bluetooth Keyboard

The keyboard worked great before upgrading to 12.3.1. Bluetooth will not pair with any device now.

Is there a bug in the IOS 12.3.1 Bluetooth that won't permit it to pair on the 2013 iPad Air 2?

Everything else on the iPad works fine.

iPad Air 2, iOS 12

I'm not aware of any Bluetooth issues caused by the iOS 12.3.1 update. None certainly on any of my devices.


Reboot your iPad and see if that helps: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time (keep holding past the swipe to shut down) until you see the Apple Logo, then let go and your iPad will reboot.


See if Bluetooth operates normally when you sign back in.
