How to remove other devices from iPhone 16 pro in bluetooth

I have a few devices that show up on my phone now since my niece and nephew come over, or my parents and they stay listed under other devices. Is this normal or is there a way to remove them as they are NOT my devices?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

How do I remove Bluetooth devices that won't disappear on my iPhone? I noticed that while working out a device other than my apple watch was transmitting Heart rate data to my phone. When I looked at my connected Bluetooth devices, I now see WHOOP 4A0829065. I did not add this device. When I click the info button next to the name, the only option I get is forget device. I have pushed that a number of times and then confirmed I want to forget device, but it never goes away. I have turned off Bluetooth, restarted my iPhone and repeated forget device. Still won't go away. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Ipad. No option to disconnect or rename bluetooth devices I have an iPad Pro 2nd Generation, just updated to 16.6 Bluetooth devices generally work ok, but when I click on the information icon next to the device name, I only get the option to Forget a Device, there is no option to either rename or disconnect. The same happens whether it is an Apple device or a 3rd Party device. This functionality existed in the past. Has it been deprecated or moved, or is there a problem with the device? Thanks

What you are probably seeing are devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy. Many wireless speakers, wireless entry systems (think cars and homes), TV, etc. use this standard and it’s designed to identify itself to other Bluetooth devices. They are not connected, just showing you they’re in the area.
