   Like everyone else I merrily updated my iPhone without even thinking of my 
precious Bluetooth instant pot! I have made note of all the buttons but the 
real problem is setting the timer which defaults to 30 minutes and it’s very 
difficult to reset and you have no confirmation ultimately that you did it 
right.

You can always try and look for an older used iPhone or iPod Touch, one
which still has an older version of iOS on it. Of course if you happen to
catch the Instant Pot WiFi on a good sale it may not cost more than
something like that.

  Good morning,



  I hope this is a good list to ask this question.

  A few years ago, I got one of the first Smart Instant Pots that

  hooked up to the iPhone via Bluetooth. It worked well, and while I

  could use it to some extent with just the buttons, I found that

  being able to use it with my phone really helped and made it easier

  to take advantage of its capabilities.

  Since I upgraded to my iPhone 12, I found that my Instant Pot

  doesn’t connect to my phone. I thought I had to re-pair it via the

  app, and when I tried going that direction, either my phone or the

  Instant Pot didn’t seem to recognize one another. If there is some

  recognition, it is only for an instant, and then it goes away and I

  can’t use the Instant Pot with the phone.

  I’m wondering what you think could be wrong, or if I should get one

  of the newer ones.

  I like being able to use it and set the temperatures with ease

  without having to memorize and count and do all of those extra things.

  This is still in good condition, except for the Bluetooth 
capabilities.

  What are people using now? What do you guys think about the newer

  Smart Instant Pots? How accessible are they? Are they worth it?

  I’d like to read your thoughts before I make any decisions.

Good morning,

I hope this is a good list to ask this question.
A few years ago, I got one of the first Smart Instant Pots that
hooked up to the iPhone via Bluetooth. It worked well, and while I
could use it to some extent with just the buttons, I found that
being able to use it with my phone really helped and made it easier
to take advantage of its capabilities.
Since I upgraded to my iPhone 12, I found that my Instant Pot
doesn’t connect to my phone. I thought I had to re-pair it via the
app, and when I tried going that direction, either my phone or the
Instant Pot didn’t seem to recognize one another. If there is some
recognition, it is only for an instant, and then it goes away and I
can’t use the Instant Pot with the phone.
I’m wondering what you think could be wrong, or if I should get one
of the newer ones.
I like being able to use it and set the temperatures with ease
without having to memorize and count and do all of those extra things.
This is still in good condition, except for the Bluetooth capabilities.
What are people using now? What do you guys think about the newer
Smart Instant Pots? How accessible are they? Are they worth it?
I’d like to read your thoughts before I make any decisions.

I was just talking with someone with the same problem. the smart wi-fi is 
not as smart as the bluetooth model.you can only access the default features 
using the smart wi-fi. you would be better off learning what the buttons do 
on the control panel.

You can always try and look for an older used iPhone or iPod Touch, one 
which still has an older version of iOS on it. Of course if you happen to 
catch the Instant Pot WiFi on a good sale it may not cost more than 
something like that.

That’s the exact reason why Matt did not get an Insta pot that can be 
controlled through the echo or Alexa or stuff like that. That’s why he got the 
Insta pot duo Evo 7+ the 8 quart and it has all buttons on it and the dial. And 
yes you can use it with no difficulty just put braille on the buttons do you 
like or for rice beef or bake so on and so forth and

 you can use Be My Eyes as you know it’s awesome to have this new technology of 
today. Thanks for your prompt attention!

Re: Question about Instant Pot and iPhone

2021-05-20 Thread Caitlyn Furness 
I use my IP several times a week.  I rely on it very much.  for this reason, I 
stopped updating my phone, and will keep it at IOS 14.4 for as long as the 
phone lasts.  This might not be for some people, but it works for me, anyways.

Re: Question about Instant Pot and iPhone

Very unfortunately, the BlueTooth accessible InstantPot app is not accessible 
with the latest update to the Iphone, IoS 14.5. The company that makes the 
InstantPot reportedly says they have no plan to repair or update the BlueTooth 
app. They now make a WiFi model that has a somewhat accessible app that also 
connects through the Amazon.com Echo (Alexa). I don’t know what i am going to 
do about this. I resent having to buy a new IP, since the one i have  still 
works with the buttons, but i, too, always enjoyed the level of control and  
and information i had with my phone. I am thinking about labeling the buttons 
with braille and trying to control it with the buttons but i won’t have nearly

Not only is the app no longer supported, the newer pot and app are not
particularly accessible.

Re: Question about Instant Pot and iPhone

2021-05-20 Thread Mary Otten 
Hi Jim,
I found that when I upgraded to one of the iOS 14 versions, which I now don’t 
remember if it was four or five, my Bluetooth app quit working. It would not 
open. And that has not changed. The app is no longer in the App Store. If I try 
to open the app, I get a notice on my iPhone saying that the developer needs to 
update the app. But it’s no longer in the store and is not being supported. 
Therefore, you should not look forward to being able to use your Bluetooth app 
anymore at least in my experience. Somebody said there’s was still working, but 
I don’t remember if it was on this list or somewhere else, and I have to think 
it’s a fluke. But I can’t explain it.
