Allow the app to find A2D2

Modified on Fri, 25 Sep at 10:43 AM

Setup and local-network discovery use different phone permissions.

iPhone/iPad: find A2D2 in Settings → Apps, or search Settings for A2D2. Allow Bluetooth and Local Network. Local Network also appears under Privacy & Security. Menu locations vary with iOS.

Android: open Settings → Apps → A2D2 → Permissions. Allow Nearby devices when requested. Wi-Fi scanning in the current setup flow can also require Location permission and Location services; older Android versions use Location for Bluetooth discovery too.

Android Settings → Apps → A2D2 → Permissions. Check Location and Nearby devices when requested by setup.

Return to A2D2 and retry setup or refresh Devices. You do not need to pair A2D2 in the phone’s Bluetooth settings. If permissions are controlled by an employer or family policy, ask the administrator rather than bypassing that restriction.
