Unknown Bluetooth connection on my phone

I happened to look at my Bluetooth device list on my iPhone and a “Ty” appeared on my list. I don’t know anyone or own any devices that I’ve named “ Ty”, what I do?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

If you see this under "MY DEVICES" you can first see whether it is "connected" or "not connected." Either way, you can tap the blue "i" and then select "Forget This Device" to remove it from the"MY DEVICES" list.


If you see this under "OTHER DEVICES" it is not connected to your phone. This just indicates that there is another Bluetooth device somewhere that is discoverable. It cannot connect to your phone unless you specifically connect it to whatever the device is. Its not unlike seeing many Wi-Fi network names when you open the Wi-Fi menu - they are not connected but your phone detects that they are active.

Hi. I have an unknown Device listed as connected in my iPhone Bluetooth listing. It does not have a blue i so I cannot get information or instruct the phone to disregard this device.


the device is identified as: s179e775bd446c9c9C.


I drove a few blocks from home and turned off my Bluetooth and turned it back on and it still showed this device as being connected. so I’m thinking it’s connected to my car but my car already has a connection listed in the iPhone Bluetooth listing. There are no other devices in my car.


any thoughts?
