In the context of Bluetooth, it can mean the devices that you have paired before. It will remember the devices until the next time you try to reconnect them. The process then will not involve scanning for available devices, then pair them with a passcode in some cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But at times, the pairing process might fail to reconnect devices or connect new ones. It may be an endless search loop with no result. Typically, clearing the Bluetooth cache may address that issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Clear Bluetooth Cache\u00a0<b><\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Clear Bluetooth Cache on Android<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Android has had several updates over the years.
