How do I get my iPhone XR Bluetooth to work again?
It just keeps cycling looking for devices. It had been working and then stopped.
iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hi abcatmom,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: iPhone XR Bluetooth
You might want to try restarting your iPhone, as that sometimes puts things back in order: How to: Restart your iPhone
The bluetooth accessories would need to be charged, and in "discovery" mode for iPhone to connect with them. (Some accessories may need an app / firmware / update/ from the manufacturer). You may also want to "reset" an accessory.
See if following Apple's methods in the articles below can help:
Set up and use Bluetooth accessories on iPhone - Apple Support
For non-Apple accessories:
Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
or
If an app would like to use Bluetooth on your device
Trouble-shooting:
If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
All the best :-)
