Many software-related device issues can be fixed with a **soft reset.** So, if you haven't already, go to your iPhone and do the following: \

1. For a few seconds, **press and hold the Power button**.
2. Drag the slider to completely turn off your iPhone when you see the **Slide to Power off-screen.**
3. After 30 seconds, **hit the Power button** once more until you see the Apple logo.
4. Wait until your iPhone has completely booted up before attempting to **utilize Bluetooth again.**

A **soft reset** is thought to be the simplest yet most efficient remedy to small issues caused by software flaws in mobile devices.
