Apparently, Bluetooth is supposed to be available in the newest IOS. Besides the bump app, which I find annoying, confusing, and intrusive, how does one or can someone bluetooth a contact to another device or just to another iDevice. Thank you for any assistance with this prcedure will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
iOS and iPadOS

I have a bluetooth question. I am currently using a iPhone 6s, which has Bluetooth 4. When I get my next phone, which may be a used iPhone 8 but will probably be a new SE, it will have Bluetooth 5. What kind of audio difference can I expect? Specifically, I have a set of second gen AirPods. They said that the second gen AirPods would have 30% less lag as compared to the first gen. However, when I went from the first to second gen, I didn't notice a difference in lag and I'm wondering if this reduction in lag they talked about required Bluetooth 5.

Hi all,
Does anyone else notice the new iOS 13 feature where VoiceOver's speech does not go to Bluetooth speakers when music is playing through them? I have a question.
Why is this only happening with 1 speaker I've tried? The others, including Bluetooth to 3.5 MM adapters, all steal my VoiceOver speech when the speaker I use in the shower does not. LOL it's really annoying especially since I want VoiceOver always coming from the phone not the Bluetooth speaker. If it worked on all my speakers and not just 1, that would be nice.

since ios 14 or maybe earlier, bluetooth connection no longer shows up on the status bar, not even whether bluetooth is on or not.
for those who can see, is bluetooth status visible? i guess what i want to know is if this is for everybody or just vo users get shortchanged.

I recently purchased a bluetooth headset, the LG Tone 700, which is a very cool design and is very solid overall, I hope to submit a review of them soon, they are stereo earbuds basically.
However, on my iPad 3, some apps switch away from the headphones and use the built in speaker instead upon launch.
So far, the apps doing this are Dimensions, Songify, and laDiDa.
I have looked in settings both of the iPad and each app, but I'm not seeing anything about it, I have also searched google for an answer, but I'm not finding anything.
Pandora works fine, so its obviously not all apps her

Hi, everyone. I have just acquired an Ipad 10th gen, and purchased a Typecase touch for it. This adds a protective case, as well as a nice bluetooth keyboard. My question is, is there a keyboard command for voiceover, that moves between the left and right split view? I know there is in braille, the 2-6 chord, and 3-5 chord. If anyone knows how to accomplish this on a regular keyboard, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Logitech K380 keyboard with an iPhone 6S running the latest software. So far, most of the keyboard commands I have experimented with work just fine, but on Safari I am not able to use the single-letter commands. for example, when Quick Nav is enabled, pressing H should jump by headings, letter L should go to the next link, etc. The issue is not limited to one website. I have only one IOS device to work with. Any suggestions you may be able to offer would be appreciated.

Hi all, this is about to drive me crazy. I have a boxwave bluetooth keyboard connected to my phone. Every now and then it will double my letters. For example if I type the letter B, it will type it twice then I have to go back and delete it. It seems to be getting worse. It didn't used to do that this much. What the heck is going on? I am about to kill it lol. Is it a bug? I want to squash it. Ok time for sleep haha. Thanks.

Hi. I have found a bug that I don't know that I've seen reported. When I'm entering information in contacts with a Bluetooth keyboard, the eighth digit is reported to be the same as the fourth digit. For example, in the phone number 503-555-1212 the fourth digit is 5 and though the eighth digit is 2, VoiceOver will report it is 5. The information is correcty displayed on the screen, but not reported correctly. Apparently, this also happens when you enter info with the onscreen keyboard.

I am having a strange problem with all of my Bluetooth keyboards and moving apps. When I do the command that puts the screen in edit mode, the app I am trying to move isn't On any of my pages of apps. When I press the home button on my Bluetooth keyboard, the app I was trying to move comes back on to the correct screen. When I double tap and hold on the screen I can move apps as usual. Please can you help me with this annoying problem.

Good evening. I have the Mac app type2phone that I sometimes use with my iPhone. I mostly use a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. The quick nav keys no longer work on my Logitech keyboard. I can no longer double tap using the up and down arrows. Is there anything I need to do, or should I not use the type2phone app?

Has anybody else come in contact with the bug of a bluetooth keyboard not typing at all. I know that's a bug when VO doesn't say anything but text is appearing but I'm talking when nothing happens at all. I can still navigate with my keyboard but sometimes it doesn't type.

Hi,
I'm trying to declutter and use my phone as a work device with a bluetooth keyboard. What I've found, however, is using both my Logitech Keys MX for Mac and Satechi Slim bluetooth keyboard, results in letters or key presses being dropped. it does seem to be that the spacebar is the biggest culprit resulting in exceedingly long and confusing words.
I've tested both keyboards on my mac and don't have the same issue.

Hello,
I recently purchased Aftershocks earbuds and tried to pair them with my IPhone7 running IOS 13.6.1. It wouldn't come up on the list of discoverable devices. I turned bluetooth off then back on, I unpaired an apple watch for good measure, I even tested with my mom's own earbuds, different model, and still even hers did not come up on the list of discoverable devices.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so are there any workarounds?

Hi all,
I apologise if this topic has already been covered in the forum threads. I have a 6S, I use voiceover, and I am running IOS 9.2.1. I'll list the issues I am having below, and would be keen to hear from anyone with any constructive suggestions. Note also that the issues are still occurring after multiple resets, and exchanging my 6s for another at the apple store.

Hi,
I am using an Iphone 6. I am currently using a Bluetooth earpiece and I'm also looking for a Bluetooth remote and a Bluetooth GPS receiver to use primarily with Blind Square when I'm out and about.
I would like a Bluetooth remote to be able to use blind square though it would be handy if it had arrow keys and a home button to allow me to navigate around my phone when out and about without having to pull my phone out of my pocket.

Hi,
After connecting my iPhone 5S to my Windows 7 computer, and using Siri, the signal sounds choppy, and VoiceOver sounds higher in pitch. So far, I have been able to correct this by going into Settings > Bluetooth, turning Bluetooth off, turning it back on, and reconnecting the computer by tapping twice in the My Devices list. Does anyone know what may be causeing this, and if there is an easier way to correct this problem?

Hello all. The Bank of America app was updated and you can now send and receive money using yoru email address or mobile number. It's also supposed to let you pay bills with your outside accounts, provided they are already set up, but I haven't seen this yet. Still wonderfully accessible. now if only their shopping mall site were... I know beating a dead horse it's just frustrating that I can't explain to anyone either on here, or the customer service people, not that I expect them to understand, why I can't shop there. Ok rant over.

I'm wanting to find a good app on the iphone to use to read books, but I really don't want to have to use VO to read with. Does anyone know of any apps that are accessible with VO and will read books allowed? Thanks.
