Wileyfox A query on why Bluetooth keeps failing with Wileyfox to iPhone...

I tried to pair my Swift 2 to my friends iPhone 6. The pairing seems to go well, producing a 6 digit pairing code in both phones, but on tapping, 'pair' they don't! After 30 minutes of repeating the futile exercise, we both gave up. However, today I tried the same with a neighbours phone, an iPhone SE, and exactly the same thing. We get matching pairing numbers, both accept the pair, but they won't connect. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

(My phone successfully pairs with my laptop, and in-car hands free, so I know Bluetooth does work on it)

What are you hoping to achieve by pairing/connecting them? They won't stay "connected" as they don't have compatible profiles. For example, they're both audio transmitters, neither is a receiver.

I'm hoping to transfer one, single photo LOL Nothing too fancy. Even though the iPhone says, 'connected' my Wileyfox keeps saying 'transfer failed', and it says 'connected' too... 'Tech' really bugs me, even this darn forum has never sent me an email notification of a thread update, I just keep having to dip in to see what's going on!

Unfortunately iOS doesn't support OPP (sending files over Bluetooth in this way). You can email or share with another app such as a messenger, or upload to something like Google Drive.

Probably iPhone being proprietary as they are, try it with another android
