iPad Bluetooth doesn't recognize devices

Just recently my iPad stopped connecting to any Bluetooth devices. It worked fine a few days ago. When i try to connect the wheel just keeps turning, but never finds any devices even when they are inches away. I have tried powering off, airplane mode on-off, Bluetooth mode on-off, etc.

any Can't connect to my remote speaker or fitbit, etc.

iPad 2, iOS 9

Hey there JulinVermont, 


It seems you've already taken some great steps. At this point, you'll want to follow If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch   


  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."


Have a good one!
