I’m having the same issue. It only shows Connect to Android and then goes to Gear 360 with a password. It never shows “Connect to iOS”. Also, if I go looking for the connection in wifi or bluetooth on the ios device, I don’t see it.

I have the same problem!! Did you get something?

Once it says “connect to Android”, tap the menu button once. It should then say “connect iOS”. Tap the ok or record button. There should be a passcode to enter for wifi.

did you guys figure it out? because it still doesn’t work for me

These comments are so old , but maybe my answer will help someone else. As soon as you turn on the power button on the camera, immediately press the button above it and hold it down, don’t let go. The message on the front will change to connect to ios. Let go of the button! Then go to your iphone wifi settings, you will see the gear as a choice. Touch it and put in the password shown on the front of your gear 360 camera. After that you will join automatically. You can turn your phones cellular data off if you want and still use the app. You will still be able to use it as a remote for the camera. Just don’t forget to turn it back on after.

Just received Gear 360 2017 to work with my iphone 6s.
Having issues, Samsung Tech Support is useless.
Able to pair camera w iphone. The App freezes or crashes at various stages. At one point, app was able to download firmware but said that it could not transfer upgrade to camera because it was not connected even though it was.
“Can’t copy update to Gear 360
Check the connection to your Gear 360 and try again”
No bluetooth option, connects through wifi.
Any leads?
Is there a way to do a firmware update from my macbook pro?
