I just bought a 16pro and now I can’t connect to any of my devices *except* other Apple devices. My Echo dots won't connect to or even recognize my phone. I've tried turning off/disconnecting/forgetting/reconnecting; resetting all network settings; everything and every way to try to connect via bluetooth…no love. Anybody resolve this in a way I haven't tried already?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
Here’s what worked for me. I noticed in the Alexa app that my iPhone was listed twice. I guess when I transferred data from the old phone it gave the new one the same name. Old phone had been deactivated. So, I changed the name of my phone (settings >general>about>name, tap x, enter new name, tap done)
Next with Bluetooth on and open I asked echo to pair, it replied it could couldn't find it but at that point the echo device showed up in the Bluetooth list. I tapped the device on the list and it paired. Worked with all 3 of my echo devices.
I'm getting the same on 16 pro. Bizarrely, I can connect from Echo Show 5 to iPhone, but cannot connect from the iPhone to the Echo.
My wife is having the same problem. My 16 pro max works, but hers will not connect to any alexa devices.
I am having the same issue with my iPhone 16 pro.
Any solutions?
I’m having the same issue, iPhone 16pro will not connect to any of my echo studios. I am so music deprived and hope this is fixed soon! @apple!
Did you get it to work?
I called Apple and after a reset and a few other things that they suggested I was able to connect my Sonos speakers but nothing else. I spent a considerable amount of time with them on the phone.
Still doesn’t work. I have Echo dots throughout my house so this is super annoying.
Don't ask me why, but today, my Alexa connected to my phone.
Thanks for the tip. I just did this with my iPhone 16 Pro and it eventually connected to my Echo device although I also had to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and then turn it back on again.
Thank you so much! I wasn’t having success pairing my echo spot to my iPhone 16 pro max
Thanks! Finally worked, hopefully on all the echos!
