Hi Everyone,
I have a new MacBook Pro and I wanted to start using handoff with my iPhone 7 Plus running iOS10. Every time I try to pair them using Bluetooth, the MacBook can recognise the phone but the phone says that the MacBook is "not supported". Does anyone else have this problem and/ or know what the solution is? Presumably it's an issue with iOS 10...?
Thanks.
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.2.1
An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. See the following for more information. Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with another iOS device or with my computer?
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity or AirDrop, 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: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
