can not connect Iphone to Bose speaker w/ bluetooth

Hello,

Hope you can help, as I am terrible in finding solutions...

My Iphone (I believe a 7) does not find any Systems to connect with.

not the LG smart TV and not the Bose. The little 'searcher' keeps spinning but to no avail !

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12

See if the steps here help, Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


For the iPhone to be able to connect to other devices via Bluetooth, they need to be in Discovery/Pairing mode. You will need the instructions for the TV and the Bose speaker to find out how to put them into Discovery/Pairing mode. The speaker should be easy, but depending on what you are trying to do with the TV, the iPhone may not support a profile for that.
