Pair with Bluetooth device

To connect with a new Bluetooth accessory or other device, you need to pair with it. You only need to do this once for each device.

  1. Set the device you want to pair (accessory, computer, other phone, etc.) to Bluetooth discovery mode so that your phone can find it. See the device manufacturer’s instructions.

  2. On your phone, go to Settings > Connected devices.

  3. Touch .

    As the phone searches for available devices, you'll see .

  4. Touch an available device to connect.

  5. Do any of the following:

    • If a pairing code appears on your phone and Bluetooth device, make sure the codes match. (If they don't, touch Cancel, verify the name of the device you want to pair with, and try again.)

    • If your device shows a passkey (like 0000 or 1234), enter it on your phone. If you don't see a place to enter it, swipe down from the top of your screen and touch the Bluetooth notification.

    • If your device doesn't show a passkey and you must enter one for the device to pair, see the device manufacturers' instructions.

  6. Touch Pair on your phone AND touch the pairing prompt on the other device. If you don't confirm on both devices, pairing will fail.

  7. Set sharing options if you'll want to share contacts, phone audio, media audio, or internet access.

TipIf you use a screen lock, you can define a paired Bluetooth device as a trusted device, keeping your phone unlocked while connected to it. When you disconnect or move out of range, your phone locks again. Go to Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices.
