Linda, although this may be news to you, it has been discussed quite thoroughly on the visually impaired iPhone users group. I currently am running iOS 14.4.2 and have the iPhone Bluetooth app on my phone. It appears to be usable for me, however I have heard that if one upgrades their phone to version 14.5 the app will no longer function. Just a heads up Fred Olver
