When I connect a Bluetooth product, do I need to turn on Wi-Fi or data on my phone?
Learn whether you need to enable Wi-Fi or mobile data when connecting Bluetooth devices.
When connecting a Bluetooth device, you need to turn on Wi-Fi or data. Otherwise, the Bluetooth device will not be able to pass the device authentication on the cloud.
Make sure your phone has an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) before attempting to connect a Bluetooth device. This is required for cloud authentication.
