Any fixes for connecting iPhone to a MacBook Air using Bluetooth? As with previous posts, it connects for a second then disconnects and I’m wondering if any new fixes have been found since earlier posts
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7
No fixes will be available, as there no issue to fix. While there are many shared activities on Apple devices that require Bluetooth, those activities do not require pairing in the traditional sense.

The iPhone and the Mac will not connect (pair) via Bluetooth. That's not a thing.
Your iPhone's hotspot is a wi-fi connection for the Mac. You will use the Mac's wi-fi network selector to login to the hotspot signal provided by the iPhone. It really is that simple. Bluetooth is not involved.

That would be Personal Hotspot. Whether It's available on your iPhone will depend on the service you have with your phone company (carrier).

I know that and it's turned on with my phone - the issue is my phone & macbook won't connect with each other via bluetooth so I can't get my macbook to use the hotspot
