Connect to a Bluetooth accessory
You can connect your phone with many useful Bluetooth devices. For example, with a
wireless headset, you can speak on the phone hands-free – you can continue what you're
doing, such as working at your computer, during a call.
Connecting a phone to a Bluetooth device is called pairing.
1. Tap Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Bluetooth.
2. Switch Bluetooth on.
3. Make sure the other device is switched on. You may need to start the pairing
process from the other device. For details, see the user guide for the other device.
4. To pair your phone and the device, tap the device on the list of discovered
Bluetooth devices.
5. You may need to type in a passcode. For details, see the user guide for the other
device.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate using radio waves, they do
not need to be in direct line-of-sight. Bluetooth devices must, however, be within 10
meters (33 feet) of each other, although the connection may be subject to interference
from obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.
Paired devices can connect to your phone when Bluetooth is switched on. Other devices
can detect your phone only if the Bluetooth settings view is open.
Do not pair with or accept connection requests from an unknown device. This helps to
protect your phone from harmful content.
Remove a pairing
If you no longer have the device with which you paired your phone, you can remove the
pairing.
1. Tap Settings > Connected devices > Previously connected devices.
2. Tap next to a device name.
3. Tap FORGET.
Connect to your friend’s phone with Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to wirelessly connect to your friend's phone, to share photos, and
much more.
1. Tap Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Bluetooth.
2. Make sure Bluetooth is switched on in both phones.
3. Make sure the phones are visible to each other. You need to be in the Bluetooth
settings view for your phone to be visible to other phones.
4. You can see the Bluetooth phones within range. Tap the phone you want to connect
to.
5. If the other phone needs a passcode, type in or accept the passcode, and tap Pair.
The passcode is only used when you connect to something for the first time.
