The Bluetooth headphones have to be in pairing mode for the iPHone to see them.
You would have to check how to get it into pairing mode from the manufacturer, or give us the brand and model and maybe someone here already knows how to do that. You also cannot be actively using them with the computer when you are pairing with another device unless they have the ability to pair with more than one device and then switch devices as needed. And, your iPhone does have an earphone port, just not the 3.5 jack. It uses the same port as the power cable, so you need an approximately $8 adapter from Apple to connect older style headphones with the 3.5 MM plug to the iPhone. You just cannot use headphones while charging unless you buy a much more expensive adapter that allows charging and wired headphones to be plugged in.

You would turn your Bluetooth headphones on go to settings and Bluetooth on your iPhone and see if your phone recognizes the Bluetooth headphones. If it does, you would want to go ahead and have your phone connect to your Bluetooth headphones. If you have any further questions I would be willing to talk with you about this off list if needed. I now have a new iPhone that does not have a headphone jack. I happen to have a couple of pair a Bluetooth headphones that I have paired up with yet. By the way, you can get an adapter for these phones without headphone jack so that you can actually use regular headphones on your iPhone. Take care, Michael Sent from my iPhone On Jun 5, 2022, at 11:15 AM, CJ & AA MAY <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: As my new Iphone doesn’t have a port for headphones, I am using my Ibuds, which is fine, but today the battery ran down in them. No problem, I thought, I have some Bluetooth headphones. The problem is my Iphone isn’t seeing them. I know they are charged as I can use them with my computer. Is there a way to force/encourage the Iphone to see Bluetooth devices? Even when I told my Google Home speaker to pair with my Iphone, it told me to go to settings and then Bluetooth to pair, but my Google Home speaker wasn’t listed.
