Strange Bluetooth Message - iPhone 13 Pro IOS 16.0.2

Message that pairing is unsuccessful to a device I never attempted to pair.


When I turn on Bluetooth or call up the Bluetooth screen I see a message after the usual 30 second delay, "Pairing unsuccessful. iPhone can no longer connect to "Mobile Phone". Forget this device and pair it again." This message will keep repeating so long as the Bluetooth screen remains open. Turning Bluetooth off and then on again or rebooting the phone doesn't help. To my knowledge there is no "Mobile Phone" or similar device I am attempting to pair.

It would be better if you can please re-post with a screenshot, in order to understand the phenomenon better. Images/pictures speak louder than words. 


Please understand this is a public forum: While attaching a Screenshot, do not provide any personal credentials, such as IP address, Card detail, email id, apple id, IMEI number, Serial Number, Phone number, Order ID, if you are sharing a map ensure your location is not identifiable, etc.



With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.
