Q: iPhone Bluetooth Multiplayer Game Connectivity Problem

Okay, well my sister and I recently redownloaded Sonic 4 Ep. 2 off the App Store after it was rereleased with major updates implemented to fix the problem of it crashing on iPhones with newer iOS versions. All seemed to be working fine until we tried to connect via multiplayer Bluetooth and... nothing. Both of our screens on our iPhones just sit there displaying "CONNECTING..." on the multiplayer screen and never connect. No matter what we try (turning Bluetooth on and off, turning Wifi on and off, restarting our phones...), NOTHING WORKS. We even tried downloading some other games off the App Store that use Bluetooth connectivity for multiplayer and EVEN THEY won't work!

We are both using iOS 9.2.1

Can someone please help us?

iPhone 5, iOS 9.2.1, null

Hey GrayJaeger,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

If I understand correctly, there's an issue connecting and playing multiplayer games with some apps on your iPhone 5. Try taking a look at the article linked below and running through the general app troubleshooting tips that it provides.

Take care.

We already tried those troubleshooting tips, we also tried connecting the devices away from other electronic devices and at different distances from eachother.
