Beginners • Please help me connect phone to Pi 5 via Bluetooth.

I have rarely used bluetooth.
I use it to attach phone to radio in the van, that is it.

Pi5, 64 bit Pi OS, KDE Plasma desktop.

I have tried various things. I can't find anything else to try.
I enable BT, I make pi5 discoverable.
My phone shows up with a 'connect' button next to it.
Underneath, it says it is paired and trusted.


As it is paired and trusted (i have removed it and started again and not managed to put new code in.
Perhaps it remembered it.)
Can I test if it is actually connected?

I wanted to transfer a few pics from phone to pi, but it fails.

When I click on 'connect' on the pi, it states that the connection failed.
When I try to connect from the phone to the pi, it says 'Pairing rejected by Pi'
It does state that the pi is available though.

Before, I managed to send pics to the pi, but they failed.
Now, although the pi shows up on the phoneunder possible connections (sometimes), when I go to send a pic, it doesn't show as an available BT device.

What is the order of the process I should follow please? Connect from the pi or phone?

Thanks.
