Connect with Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to connect your phone to other devices without a cord. After you pair a Bluetooth
device for the first time, your devices can connect automatically.
Turn Bluetooth on/off
Bluetooth uses more of your battery, so turn it off when not in use.
1. Open quick settings.
2.
Tap to switch it on/off.
Pair with and use devices
To connect with a new Bluetooth accessory or other device, you need to pair with it. You only need to do this
once for each device.
Your devices stay paired until you unpair them.
Pair with a device
1. Set the device you want to pair (accessory, computer, other phone, etc.) to Bluetooth discovery mode so
that your phone can find it. See the device manufacturer’s instructions.
2. On your phone, go to Settings > Connected devices.
3.
Tap .
As the phone searches for available devices, you'll see .
4. Tap an available device to connect.
5. Do any of the following:
•
If a pairing code appears on your phone and Bluetooth device, make sure the codes match. (If they
don't, tap Cancel, verify the name of the device you want to pair with, and try again.)
•
If your device shows a passkey (like 0000 or 1234), enter it on your phone. If you don't see a place to
enter it, swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the Bluetooth notification.
•
If your device doesn't show a passkey and you must enter one for the device to pair, see the device
manufacturers' instructions.
6. Tap Pair on your phone. Check the other device for a pairing prompt as well; if it has one, you'll need to
confirm on both devices or pairing will fail.
7. Set sharing options if you'll want to share contacts, phone audio, media audio, or internet access.
Tip: If you use a screen lock, you can define a paired Bluetooth device as a trusted device, keeping your
phone unlocked while connected to it. When you disconnect or move out of range, your phone locks
again. Go to Settings > Security & privacy > More security & privacy > Extend Unlock > Trusted
devices.
Can't pair? Troubleshoot the issue.
