You have to pair it with their App, not through the Bluetooth settings on the device. You also want to make sure the Meater app has Bluetooth access at Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth. There are additional steps you need to take depending on the Meater model and each are provided here. Make sure the probe has been charged for at least 2 hours for any of them.

Additional info is here for the MEATER Pro:

Thank you Mac Jim ID. The Meater can still pair with an older iPhone but refuses to pair with an iPhone 17 Pro so I’m fairly sure the pairing process is not the problem. Has anyone out there successfully paired a Meater 2 Plus with an iPhone 17 Pro?

Sorry to continue while I don't have the Meater probe to test myself, but since you mentioned 2 devices, the probe needs to be unpaired from your other phone first, otherwise pairing will fail when connecting to another. It can only be paired to one device at a time. That needs to be managed in the app as the probe is what registers the bluetooth device.


Hopefully someone else with an iPhone 17 that also has the Meater Probe can assist. If you do find a solution, please update.
