Summary

The Blue2FT switch is not able to wake an iPad or iPhone after a period of inactivity.

Causes

Some older iPads and iPhones do not support waking from a Bluetooth accessory.

  • iPad 10 or newer
  • iPad Air 4 or newer
  • iPad Pro 11-in (all generations)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-in (3rd gen or newer)
  • iPad Pro 13
  • iPhone X or newer

  1. Go to Settings App
  2. Tap Accessibility
  3. Tap Touch
  4. Enable Tap or Swipe to Wake
