Description
Section titled “Description”Your iPhone may still trust old cars, headphones, speakers, keyboards, computers, docks, chargers, adapters, and other accessories. Some are harmless. Others can reconnect automatically, expose device relationships, or request more access than you expect.
Review both wireless and wired accessories. Remove Bluetooth devices you no longer recognize or use, and use the most restrictive wired accessory setting that still works for the accessories you actually need. Avoid Always Allow unless you have a specific accessibility, work, or hardware need.
