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

i had this same question and figured it out. I couldn’t disconnect from “TY” and had non option to view information on it to the right as there was no “i”.

I have an automatic cat feeder that is set up to wifi and connects to my iPhone via Bluetooth when I use the app. I don’t get the choice to add it as I’ve already added it in the app and it doesn’t stay on my Bluetooth list, only when it’s active. My app is called “Smart Life”. Hope this helps!

I have Ty in my Bluetooth settings too, i have smart plugs that connect through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, if I turn the plugs on or off via the app that comes with the smart plugs Ty appears in the Bluetooth menu. If you turn off Bluetooth then back on again Ty will disappear until the next time you use the smart plugs via the app then it reappears

hope this helps

Actually, I can turn on/off Tuya devices in my home “without WiFi” when I use “Bluetooth.” Note the radius length between my phone and Tuya devices should be around 5–10 m.

Where is the device? Is it showing as connected?

Can you post a screenshot?

I have the same issue but mine does not show the "I" next to the TY Bluetooth but its showing its connected. I'm not quite sure what to do as I'm not sure what or who TY is.

Nvm figured it out
