I should also mention that if you send back your Logitech keyboard and buy a different Bluetooth keyboard you still have to pair it just the same, all Bluetooth keyboards need to be first put in pairing mode, then you have to double tap on them in the list of Bluetooth devices on your phone and then enter the pairing code. Some Bluetooth keyboards have a little recessed button you have to press to put it in pairing mode, some maybe have a power button which you have to push and hold for 3 or 5 seconds before it goes into pairing mode or, as the Logitech K780, you have to press and hold one of the device selection keys, F1, F2 or F3 for about 5 seconds. The nice thing about the K780 and I think just about all other Bluetooth keyboards is that it has a physical on/off slider switch (on the K780 it’s on the right side) which makes it easy to know whether they keyboard is on or off and if you plan to bring it with you in a backpack it’s virtually impossible for the keyboard to turn itself on. My first Apple Wireless keyboard had a push button on the side and it would constantly get pushed in the backpack and I basically had to unscrew the battery compartment and reverse one battery if I didn’t want that to happen.

I highly doubt there is anything wrong with either his iPhone or the keyboard and that it is at this point user error, sorry Joshua, but if you could look up the model and post a message here with that information some of us could probably help you more. I believe you said you bought the keyboard from Amazon which means you would have received an order confirmation email and the exact model number would definitely be in that email. The K780 is a fantastic keyboard, I personally don’t use the USB dongle since my laptop has Bluetooth and I find the connection works better than with the USB Dongle. I also described before how to pair this keyboard, the only thing I would add to Richard “it just pairs” statement is that once it shows up in your list of Bluetooth devices and you double tap on it you have to enter a pairing code, I think it is 6 digits, on the keyboard. If it is the K780 then it has a numeric pad and that makes it very easy to enter the code which you can read on your iPhone with Voiceover. I mean no offense, but I see a bit of a similarity here with when you first received your iPhone and you were so frustrated by the fact you couldn’t enter the passcode that you wanted to send it back a day or two later. Now you can’t pair your keyboard right away maybe assuming it should magically pair without following the correct procedure and it’s a bit the same thing, all I can say is just slow down, take a deep breath and then provide the model and ask for help if you can’t figure it out from information that is available online. I think when I once tried the USB dongle I had to go through the pairing process as well so it’s not like Logitech wireless USB keyboards which are prepared with the dongle you get and which simply work after you plug the dongle into a computer. I don’t want to boast or sound superior, but I have been using iOS devices for 10 years and I almost could guaranty that there is nothing wrong with the product and that those who know the steps including myself could pair this to your phone in less than 30 seconds. As for not having to enter a passcode, do you want to turn off the passcode permanently or do you just want to set it so you only have to enter it if, for example, you haven’t unlocked your phone for more than a certain time? I am actually not sure if this can be done. I do see an option under Settings > Touch Id and Passcode (I have an iPhone 8 so if you have an XR this would most likely be called Face Id and Passcode) that says “Require Passcode” and it says “Immediately”. If I tap on this the only option given is “Immediately”, so not sure about the purpose of this. I do, however, have credit cards added to my phone so I can use it to make Apple Pay payments in stores and I assume it is possible that “Immediately” is the only option because of this. In any case, I can’t remember if you have an iPhone 8 which has Touch Id or an XR or XS which has Face Id, but either way if you could get help to set up either method correctly you can easily and quickly unlock your iPhone without having to enter your passcode at least most of the time. The only time you would have to enter a passcode is if you reboot/turn off your phone, if you haven’t used it for whatever length of time it is where a passcode is required or if you are unsuccessful in unlocking with Touch Id or Face Id after several attempts. Of course if security is not a concern you could simply disable the passcode requirement and then you simply double tap where it says “Press Home to Unlock”.

The ones I have used have the ability to pair with either iOS or Android, but there are two different buttons for pairing with each. On mine, the two buttons are long and narrow, going from left to right, and the farthest right one is for iOS. You have to hold it in for a few seconds before it shows up in your bluetooth; when it does, you double tap on its name in the bluetooth settings, and it just pairs. Did you go through all that?

I just tried out my new wireless/ bluetooth keyboard and it doesn't work at all. I turned on the switch and I plugged in my USB dongle. I got nothing at all. I then unplugged my dongle and tried to pair it to my iPhone via bluetooth, and nothing again. I bought this keyboard to help me with typing on my iPhone. I'm going to talk to apple because I think my phone is broken. I went into settings and tried to get my phone to where I don't have to keep typing in my passcode everytime my phone locks itself and even though I typed in my passcode and changed the setting to off, it didn't take. If it weren't for the fact that I need a phone to make and receive calls, I'd sell it for whatever money I could get. The only good thing about my phone is the quality of phone calls. I like that very much. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
