Do you have Android device or iOS device?

Customer Replay

if they need updates there should be an auto mechanism
ios

Thank you
Location permissions are used by the Bose app to detect and control your product. If location settings are disabled for the app, it will not work properly.
For iOS devices:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Local Network and be sure it is not disabled for the Bose app
  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and be sure it is not disabled for the Bose app

But why all of a sudden. I’ve had the speaker for many years now

Do you mean the speaker stopped working?

Customer Replay

yes
wint connect to my phone

It may because of the Bose Music app

Customer Replay

what music app.

Bose Music app that controls your Bose smart products

Customer Replay

is this a new app
and why now all of a sudden

Bose Music app is not a new one
***** there may be several reasons why that may happen
If your iOS device recently had a new firmware upgrade - it also may affect on connection

Customer Replay

have done. It updated the speaker and it’s now connected to my phone. It was to do with the app from Bose and not my phone.

Thank you for the information, *****!
