    What devices are you trying to connect? You can only connect your phone to devices such as speakers, keyboards, headsets, and the like. It won't connect to other phones or computers unless you're tethering an internet connection. That being said, make sure both devices have bluetooth switched on and are in discovery mode, and within 30 feet of each other.

    What kinds of devices? Note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) or iPad except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it.  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722

     

    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204678
