    The address is located to the right of the "Bluetooth" label towards the bottom of the list on your screen.
    • Your iPhone's Bluetooth address is a device-specific string of numbers and letters that lets other Bluetooth devices know where and how to send and receive information.
    • For example, you can have both a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse connected to a Mac at the same time, and the Mac will know which information it is receiving from which device based on their individual addresses.
