Bluetooth
A short-range wireless link between devices such as headphones, cars and watches. Leave it on only when you use it, and pair only devices you recognise.
Bluetooth works over a few metres. Pairing asks both devices to agree, so a stranger cannot normally connect without your approval. Still, requests you did not start, or devices you do not recognise, are worth declining.
Keep your phone and the device updated, and remove old pairings you no longer use.
What to do
- Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it.
- Decline pairing requests you did not start.
- Remove old paired devices from the list.
