There have been a rise in the number of reports by users using iPhone with iOS 10, complaining that there are various issues that include the device not connecting with accessories , for example not connecting with headphones or speakers , and even if they connect with the accessories , problems pertaining to the stability of the connection. It should be noted that this problem is very common while using Bluetooth however the main problem comes due to the fact that Apple has removed the headphone jack in the new iPhone 7 , therefore causing a fairly large software issue in the respective device. While we are waiting for Apple to try and rectify the problem we can temporarily rectify the problem using the following one of the following procedures:

• Re-Pair the device after forgetting the Bluetooth –This option can be followed by firstly going to Settings>Bluetooth>”i ” option that is found on the right hand corner> “Forget this Device”. This will refresh the re-pair ,that might fix the issue.
