IPhone – How to solve the “Connection Unsuccessful” when trying to connect iPhone to Mac Book Pro via bluetooth

bluetoothiphonemacbook pro

MacBook Pro summer 2015 edition. Bluetooth is enabled. iPhone 6 plus and iPhone 7 plus bluetooth is enabled.

When trying to connect from MBP to the iPhone after tapping 'Pair' on the iPhone with the message

Waiting for "iPhone" to accept pairing

MBP is saying that the iPhone is connected but after a second or two the connection gets dropped.

Trying to connect to the MBP from the iPhone gives a message on the iPhone

Connection Unsuccessful
"MBP-Hostname" is not supported
<<Forget Device>>

What is the problem?

Best Answer

Using the Mac's keyboard as an external keyboard for the iPhone over Bluetooth is, unforunately, not supported.

You would need third party software on the Mac and special apps that support this third part software for something like that to work. I don't know of any such software in existence today.
