Mobile phones are loaded with functions and utilities, but we cannot deny that Bluetooth has become a fundamental part of it. For this reason, on Android, we find more and more options and useful functions to get the most out of it, something that we are going to show you below.
We must bear in mind that the changes in Android 10 were significant and although in Android 11 there are not too many, there may be some differences if we have some layer of customization or previous versions of the operating system. Despite this, both Samsung’s One UI, as well as the popular EMUI or MIUI offer us everything that we are going to teach you.
Connect Bluetooth devices safely
We start with a step that may be basic but is essential when trying to connect a keyboard, computer or even headphones. The system may ask us for a type of confirmation that assures us that no one is trying to connect improperly. Living surrounded by so many devices, this is important for the safety of the Bluetooth devices we have at home.
Its operation is very simple, we only have to enter Settings> Connected devices> Link new devices and choose it among those that appear. This will give way to a code like the one we show you, which we must enter in the device to complete the connection to the Android mobile. At the end we will receive a success message and we can use it.
Delete devices and configure their permissions
From time to time it does not hurt to take a look at all the devices that we have connected to Bluetooth on Android , we can accumulate so many that this can generate some chaos. We will do this by entering Settings> Connected devices. We will see a list of all those that we have and next to it a settings wheel that will take us to the forget option.
We can do the same when we want to control the permissions of Bluetooth devices on Android. Within each one we will be able to choose if we want to allow access to calls, contacts or multimedia, among other things.
Files received via Bluetooth
Although it is used less and less for this purpose, we still have the possibility of receiving or sending files with the mobile’s Bluetooth. All of them are in the same section only in the file manager or the gallery. To find them we have to go into Settings> Connected devices> Connection preferences.
Reset Bluetooth on Android
On many occasions it is common for us to find Bluetooth problems. This can be due to various factors such as failures in specific devices or relevant options, but in any case we will be able to return the Bluetooth to the original state . We will do this by going into Settings> System> Recovery options> Recover WiFi and Bluetooth. Finally we will configure the action and everything related to Bluetooth will return to the factory state.
