Bluetooth reset assistance

How I can reset my Bluetooth on my iPad? The section on other devices keeps spinning... it will not stop spinning even days after turning the Bluetooth button off.


‘Any suggestions?’

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

The loading circle next to other devices usually spins all the time because it’s constantly searching for more Bluetooth signals


To reset Bluetooth settings,


  • navigate to settings > general > Reset (at the bottom of screen)
  • press “reset network settings”


This’ll reset both WIFI and Bluetooth settings so be mindful of that.


Hope this helps!
