    The "problem" is that's not a feature of the iPhone. It never has been. The iPhone does not support Bluetooth file transfer.

    iPhone does not connect to any computer or phone via bluetooth. The exception is internet tethering, if provided by your carrier.

     

    Bluetooth is supported for handsfree telephone devices, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some apps from the ap store, and internet tethering if provided by your carrier.

    BT on the iPhone is intended for connecting to speakers, earphones, etc. not for other iPhones or Macs. You can't pair these devices.

     

    Using BT between iPhones or iPhones and Macs requires an App.
