iPhone 16 Bluetooth issues

I just got my new iPhone 16 set up, but I can't get any of my bluetooth devices to connect. They don't even appear on the menu. The icon just spins but never identifies any of my devices.

I've tried reseting the network connections, I've rebooted my phone, I've toggled on and off the Bluetooth setting, I've ensure my phone is close enough to the Bluetooth device, I've searched the Manufacturers instructions for the device. I don't know what else to do. Please help!!


iPhone 16, iOS 18

When you move to a new device Bluetooth settings aren’t copied, because they are hardware specific. You must put each of your BT devices into Pairing mode again, and pair them to the new iPhone.
