Bluetooth

For about a month now my Bluetooth has been in a turning wheel when I go into settings it also says off when I’m not in the Bluetooth tab when I turn it on with the top corner when I swipe down it says it’s on but it still doesn’t work I haven’t seen anyone on the internet have this issue and I need it fixed asap as I have things to connect

iPad, iPadOS 15

Unsync all items, then sync them once more. To do so, on your iPad, Go Here:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Bluetooth
  3. Tap: the "i" icon next to your device
  4. Tap: Forget This Device
  5. Tap: again to confirm.


C. Contact the Manufacturer:

Contacting the manufacturer of the Bluetooth accessory would help as well. You'd visit their home page, and would the would find their Contact Us link (usually forum on the direct bottom of the page, or on a Contact Us tab.


D. Restore form a Backup:

Have a backup of your iPad that was made prior to this issues? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPad to the backup. If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always backup your iPad prior to making any changes to it (i.e. updates or uninstallations) incase anything goes wrong with the installation.
