Very unfortunately, the BlueTooth accessible InstantPot app is not accessible with the latest update to the Iphone, IoS 14.5. The company that makes the InstantPot reportedly says they have no plan to repair or update the BlueTooth app. They now make a WiFi model that has a somewhat accessible app that also connects through the Amazon.com Echo (Alexa). I don’t know what i am going to do about this. I resent having to buy a new IP, since the one i have still works with the buttons, but i, too, always enjoyed the level of control and and information i had with my phone. I am thinking about labeling the buttons with braille and trying to control it with the buttons but i won’t have nearly as much confidence, especially about setting the time. Penny
