Bluetooth on off iphone

Apple одобрила приложение Bluetooth OnOff

Компания Apple утвердила приложение под названием Bluetooth OnOff (стоимостью 0,99 доллара), которое позволяет пользователю включать и выключать Bluetooth-соединение с домашнего экрана. До этого Apple не одобряла никаких приложений, которые соединялись и взаимодействовали с основными настройками, поэтому данная новость является интересным фактом.

Пользоваться приложением очень просто – после его скачивания на главном экране появляется его иконка. Если нажать на нее, то на экране появится переключатель Bluetooth, с помощью которого вы можете включить или выключить Bluetooth-соединение. Если опция Bluetooth уже включена, то загрузка приложения даст вам возможность ее выключить. Лучший способ использовать приложение – это зайти в его настройки и включить опцию OnOff. Это позволит вам переключать Bluetooth On / Off прямо на домашнем экране простым касанием иконки приложения.

Ярлыки, похожие на этот, были очень популярны, когда iOS 5 только появилась. Можно было использовать Safari Bookmarklets, чтобы добавлять различные «on/off» настройки на домашний экран. Этот вид взаимодействия пропал после того, как Apple выпустила новую iOS 5.1.

Сам факт доступности данного приложения очень примечателен – можно предположить, что в Apple просто ошиблись, одобрив его, и в любую минуту оно может быть удалено из цифрового магазина компании. Однако есть вероятность и того, что Apple готова одобрять чужие приложения, делающие жизнь пользователей легче и приятнее. В данном случае включение/выключение Bluetooth действительно становится простым, как никогда раньше. Будем надеяться, что Apple оставит приложение в App Store, и вскоре мы увидим аналогичные ему – для такого же удобного включения/выключения Wi-Fi и других настроек.

How to Turn Bluetooth On or Off With Your iPhone or iPad

Disable Bluetooth indefinitely or for a day on iOS, or turn it back on

There are two ways to turn Bluetooth on or off on your iPhone or iPad. The quickest way is to use the Control Center, but this is only a temporary solution. When you turn Bluetooth on or off via the Settings app, Bluetooth’s status will remain until you change it again.

These instructions apply to devices with iOS 7 or later.

How to Turn Bluetooth On or Off Using Control Center

The Control Center method is a quick solution because you don’t need to hunt for the Settings app. However, this method only turns off Bluetooth until 5 a.m. local time the next day.

Using this method, Apple Watch, Apple Pencil, AirPlay services, and AirDrop services will work even though they use Bluetooth to communicate.

Open Control Center on your iOS device.

If you have an iPhone X or later, swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. With older iPhone models, swipe up. On iPads, swipe down from the upper-right corner.

Tap the Bluetooth icon to turn off Bluetooth.

You’ll see a message that Bluetooth is being disconnected until tomorrow. Tap the Bluetooth icon to turn Bluetooth back on at any time.

How to Turn Bluetooth On or Off Indefinitely

You may want to turn Bluetooth off for a longer period of time. For example, you might have Bluetooth speakers you occasionally use with your iPhone when at home, but you don’t need them all the time. Here’s how to turn Bluetooth on or off indefinitely.

Launch the Settings app and tap Bluetooth.

When Bluetooth is on, you’ll see a list of devices that can be connected under My Devices or Other Devices. Tap a device to connect it.

Tap the slider to toggle off Bluetooth. When you turn off Bluetooth, you’ll no longer see your available Bluetooth devices.

How to Connect Bluetooth Devices to iPhone

Pairing a device requires a pairing mode and compatible technology

What to Know

• Place your iPhone and Bluetooth devices near each other and make sure both are in discovery mode.
• Tap Settings >Bluetooth, ensure that the Bluetooth toggle switch is on/green, then tap a device to pair it.
• To disconnect a Bluetooth device when you’re done using it, turn off the device or turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone.

This article explains how to connect your iPhone to Bluetooth devices. Regardless of what kind of device you pair to your iPhone, the steps are basically the same.

Preparing to Connect Bluetooth to iPhone

Place your iPhone and Bluetooth device near each other. Bluetooth’s range is a few dozen feet, so devices that are too far apart can’t connect. The technology’s theoretical limit is 33 feet, but the closer the two devices are, the better.

As a security precaution, both devices must be in a «discovery» mode, although the name for that mode varies by manufacturer and the procedure for activating it isn’t uniform. Consult your device’s user manual for specific instructions. By requiring both devices to operate in this mode to effect a pairing, you can be confident that strangers on the subway can’t secretly pair with your iPhone or AirPods.

Activate Pairing Mode on the iPhone

Tap Settings > Bluetooth and ensure that the toggle switch is green. If it is, you’ll see a list of all the devices presently paired to your phone, whether they’re active or not. Any devices placed into pairing mode will appear at the bottom of the list. Just tap it to pair it.

Some devices, like Bluetooth keyboards, may present a passcode you must enter on the device to ensure that you’ve paired the right device to the right iPhone.

These steps also apply to the iPod touch and iPad.

Disconnect Bluetooth Devices From an iPhone

It’s a good idea to disconnect a Bluetooth device from your iPhone when you’re done using it so you don’t run down the battery on either device. Either turn off the device or turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone. In iOS 7 or higher, use Control Center as a shortcut to turn Bluetooth on and off.

While Bluetooth doesn’t drain as much battery as Wi-Fi, keeping it turned off when not in use is one of the ways that you can extend the battery life of your iPhone.

If you need to keep Bluetooth on but just disconnect from a specific device:

Go to the Bluetooth menu in Settings.

Find the device you want to disconnect and tap the i icon next to it.

On the next screen, tap Disconnect.

Permanently Remove a Bluetooth Device From iPhone

If you’re not going to need to connect to a given Bluetooth device ever again, remove it from the Bluetooth menu altogether.

Tap Settings > Bluetooth.

Tap the i icon next to the device you want to remove, then tap Forget This Device.

In the pop-up menu, tap Forget Device.

If the device you’re trying to permanently disconnect from is an Apple Watch, the process is slightly different. Learn all about it in How to Unpair Apple Watch and iPhone.

Why Use Bluetooth?

You may not be able to connect accessories to the iPhone using a USB port, but tons of useful devices work with the iPhone thanks to Bluetooth. While most people think of Bluetooth as the way that wireless headsets or speakers get connected to phones, it’s much more than that. Bluetooth is a general-purpose technology used with headsets, keyboards, ​car stereos, and more.​

Full iPhone Bluetooth Support Specifications

The types of Bluetooth accessories that work with the iPhone and iPod touch depends on what Bluetooth profiles are supported by iOS and the device. Profiles are specifications that both devices must both support to communicate with each other. The following Bluetooth profiles are supported by iOS:

• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile: A2DP, also known as Stereo Bluetooth, lets iOS devices send wireless audio to compatible headphones and speakers. It is supported by all iOS devices except the original iPhone.

• Human Interface Device Profile: Supports HID devices like mice, keyboards, and joysticks. Neither the original iPhone nor the iPhone 3G supports this profile.
• Message Access Profile: Mostly used for hands-free functionality in cars, MAP helps devices send messages to each other. All iPhones except the original, 3G, and 3GS support it.
• Personal Area Network: Allows connection between multiple devices using wireless networks. PAN works on all iOS devices except the original iPhone.
• Phone Book Access Profile: Use PBAP to display information from the device’s address book, a feature often used with hands-free car kits. Works on all iPhones.
• Serial Port Profile: SPP supports braille terminals on devices running iOS 4 and up.
