Bluetooth on iPhone 5

[Grimst]

I can't seem to get it to recognise any devices. I am trying to send photos from a friends phone to mine. They can see my phone but mine just keeps searching & gets nothing. I have reset network settings twice & turned off Bluetooth twice & the phone off twice & still no joy. Please can someone help

The Bluetooth on iPhones won't allow this I'm afraid

It's only for pairing to cars and headsets

To add you can use iMessage , e mail whatsapp or mms to send photos (mms is at a cost of £0.40p)

Also it is not possible to connect with any other makes of phones to transfer pictures, IE you can't email them as you can't save them on an iPhone.

Hi

I've emailed pictures to my iPhone and saved the picture attached in that e mail to my camera roll.

Must be a feature of later phones as not possible on the two 4s` we have?

It's always been there my mum uses a 4s still on iOS 6 and I can send her pictures by email and she can save them to the camera roll

Not on ours. Where's the setting to allow it?

When you get a picture in an email you tap and hold on the picture for a few seconds then it will pop up with an option save to camera roll and if there is more than one it will also give you the option to save all

You must have to enable that somewhere as don't get a pop up box.
