Pairing device does not show in IOS bluetooth settings

[Ryan S]

Hi there, 

I have implemented the ability to pair the BLE peripheral in our app. However, some users may prefer to connect via IOS settings. 

I have seen a thread which suggests that this is not possible for BLE devices.
How to make the device appear in the Bluetooth settings of iOS?

I just wanted to confirm if this is still the case, since it seems strange to me. 

Otherwise, how to achieve this? 

Thank you!

Hi,

I haven’t been able to find any official documentation from Apple that clearly defines the criteria for when a device appears in the Bluetooth settings menu but in my experience it only includes bluetooth Classic devices or LE devices that advertise services natively supported by the OS like heart rate sensors. For other accessories the users will anyway have to use the vendor app anyway to interact with the device.

Best regards,

Vidar
