Iphone blue tooth fails to discover devices

Prior to IOS 14 this functioned well with multiple types of devices (JBL speakers, headsets, computer) on both our iPhones.

Now, and with having tried all the recommended fixes, they no longer discover these. The iPhone may discover each other but the connection fails.

Does connect to AirPods but now always needing pairing and with many fails before.

It's a useful feature and a deal breaker for my next choice of personal device so, let me know how soon this can be resolved. The response clock is ticking.

I have apps the use MultipeerConnectivity Foundation to pass data between iOS devices. Now, none of those apps works. I suspect the because iPhone running 16.4.1 says that "iPad is not supported" when trying to pair devices is the problem. Seeing the iPad is not the problem but connecting and passing data absolutely fail.
