just purchased an iPhone 12 mini and all was great until 15.2 update and now no Bluetooth connections show up. Everything I had is gone and it won’t connect to anything. I’ve had the phone for less than a week. Any advice? I’m so not happy.

Hi there Statarsky321,
If you're having difficulty connecting Bluetooth devices to your iPhone, there are some steps you can try to resolve the issue and get it working again:
To get help pairing a Bluetooth accessory—like a wireless keyboard—to your iOS or iPadOS device, try these steps:
1. Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory and iOS or iPadOS device are close to each other.
2. Turn your Bluetooth accessory off and back on again.
3. Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is on and fully charged or connected to power. If your accessory uses batteries, see if they need to be replaced.
4. If there's an app that you use with the Bluetooth accessory, go to Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth on your iOS or iPadOS device, and make sure that you've turned on Bluetooth for the app.
If you still can't pair or connect your Bluetooth accessory
1. If you previously connected your Bluetooth accessory to your iOS or iPadOS device, unpair the accessory, put it back in discovery mode, then try to pair and connect it again.
2. If you can pair your accessory with some devices but not your iOS or iPadOS device, unpair the accessory from your other devices. Then try to pair with your iOS or iPadOS device again.
3. Check with the accessory manufacturer to make sure that your accessory supports your iOS or iPadOS device.
4. If you still have any of these issues, contact Apple Support:
- You can’t turn on Bluetooth or the setting is grayed out.
- You can’t connect any Bluetooth accessories with your device.
- The accessory manufacturer confirmed that your accessory is working correctly.

You'll also want to be sure you've updated your iPhone to the most current software version, which is iOS 15.5. If needed, learn more about updating here: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Cheers!
