Hi there! I see you're having trouble connecting your Bose Bluetooth to the radio.net app on your iPhone running iOS 18.5. To help you better, could you tell me a bit more about the issue? For example:
- Does the Bluetooth connection between the Bose device and iPhone work fine outside the radio.net app (like for music or calls)?
- Does the radio.net app recognize your Bose speaker or does it just not play through it?
- Have you already tried any troubleshooting steps such as restarting devices or toggling Bluetooth?

Once I have a bit more info, I can guide you through the right steps to fix this.

Bose speaker does not recognize phone

Thanks for the extra detail! Since your Bose speaker is not recognizing your iPhone at all, it sounds like the Bluetooth connection between the devices is not establishing properly, independent of the radio.net app.

Let's try some Bluetooth connection steps targeted for your iPhone (iOS 18.5) and Bose speaker:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
2. If your Bose speaker is currently paired, tap the info "i" icon next to its name and select Forget This Device to remove any existing pairing.
3. Put your Bose speaker into Bluetooth pairing mode. Usually, you hold the Bluetooth or power button until the speaker shows a flashing blue light (refer to the speaker’s manual if unsure).
4. Back on your iPhone Bluetooth screen, look for your Bose speaker under “Other Devices” and tap it to pair.
5. If the speaker doesn't show up, try toggling your iPhone’s Bluetooth off and then on again. Also, restart your Bose speaker by turning it off, then on.
6. Make sure your iPhone is not currently connected to other Bluetooth devices that might interfere.
7. If pairing still fails, try restarting your iPhone.

Once the iPhone and Bose speaker are successfully paired via Bluetooth, open the radio.net app and try playing audio. It should route automatically to your Bose speaker.

Additionally, make sure the radio.net app has the necessary Bluetooth and Local Network permissions enabled on your iPhone by going to Settings > radio.net > Bluetooth and Local Network, and ensure these toggles are on1 2.

Could you give these a try and let me know how it goes? If it still doesn’t work, we can dig deeper or explore other possible fixes.
