What version of Bluetooth is on my Android phone?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

To determine the version of Bluetooth on your Android phone, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the “Settings” app on your Android phone. You can usually find it in the app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon.

2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and look for the “Apps” or “Applications” option. It may be located under different headings depending on your phone’s manufacturer and Android version. Tap on it to proceed.

3. Within the Apps or Applications menu, you may need to swipe left or right to access different tabs. Look for the tab labeled “Running” or “Running Services” and select it. This will display a list of all the services that are currently running on your phone.

4. In the list of running services, you need to find and tap on “Bluetooth Share”. This service is responsible for managing Bluetooth connections on your Android device.

5. After tapping on Bluetooth Share, you will be presented with more detailed information about this service. Look for the “Version” or “Bluetooth Version” label, and the corresponding value next to it will indicate the version of Bluetooth on your phone.

It’s important to note that the exact location of these options may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your Android phone and the version of Android it is running. However, the general process should remain similar across most devices.

If you are unable to find the Bluetooth version through the steps mentioned above, another alternative is to check your phone’s user manual or visit the manufacturer’s website for more information. They may provide details about the Bluetooth version supported by your specific device.

By accessing the “Bluetooth Share” service within the running apps menu in your Android phone’s settings, you can easily find out the version of Bluetooth present on your device.
