Connection Request from iPhone

[Deakin]

Something has just popped up on my Mac screen. It's a Blue Tooth request that says:-

Connection Request from: iPhone

To connect to the device, click Connect to complete the
connection process.

To reject connection to the device, click Cancel.

There are the 2 options at the bottom to click. The thing is I don't have an iPhone but do have a iPad and an iPad mini and was wondering if something was happening with one of those. Or is this a hacking thing that's somehow just popped up. It's not on my main screen but a card game screen that I've had for years without this happening before.

Hello,

It could be a couple of things:
-Were you using a web browser at the time? If so, it could be a fake pop-up.
-It could have been an iPhone that was in Bluetooth range (~30 feet) - do you live in an apartment, or a space that has neighbors very close by?

I doubt it was related to your iPads, as they would have identified themselves as iPad.

Thank you, you've just made me realise that the cleaner was here at the time and she has an iPhone so it must have been that trying to connect.

Ahhh...that would do it.

Let us know if you have additional issues.
