When using a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad with your iPad, you might see an alert that says 'Using this accessory may affect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.'

Wireless interference can happen when you use a Bluetooth accessory with some iPad models. The more Bluetooth accessories that are connected to your iPad and active, the more likely you are to experience wireless performance issues.

If this happens, and you have connectivity issues, try disconnecting any Bluetooth accessories that you're not using. In Settings > Bluetooth, tap the information button next to the accessory's name, then tap Disconnect.

Reconnect, disconnect, or forget the Bluetooth accessory

After it pairs with your iPad for the first time, your accessory appears under My Devices in Settings > Bluetooth. Tap your accessory's name to reconnect it to your iPad when it's not connected.

To disconnect the accessory or have your iPad forget the accessory, tap the information button next to its name.
