How to connect a Bluetooth speaker to your phone?
To begin the pairing process, you first need to enable pairing mode on your speaker. After turning your speaker on using the power button, hold down the power button for a couple of seconds to switch the speaker into pairing mode.
Some speakers have a dedicated pairing button, you will need to hold that button similarly for a few seconds. Generally, this changes the onboard light colour or emits a notifying sound.
Now it’s time to get things set up on your Android or iOS phone. For connecting a Bluetooth speaker to your phone, drop the top menu down and tap on the Bluetooth icon.

This step remains identical for both iOS and Android. Next, go to the device Settings app and look for the Bluetooth menu option. When inside, you will find a list of connected, previously paired, and new devices list. In that list, find your speaker’s make and name and select it to pair.
Difference between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers?
This might seem complicated but is actually very simple. Bluetooth speakers are generally non-smart speakers that need a host device, like your phone, to source audio from. You connect your phone to a Bluetooth speaker and play music from your phone which is then relayed to the speaker. The music is actually being played on your phone using the resources of your device.
On the flip side, Wi-Fi speakers are generally smart and can much more independently than a Bluetooth speaker. Wi-Fi connectivity allows such speakers to stay connected with the internet for sourcing the music independently and for app connectivity.
Once you have sent the song from your phone to the speaker, it will pull the music directly from the internet. Closing the music app on your phone or turning off the phone entirely won’t even affect the music playback on a Wi-Fi speaker.
