If the PB Legacy app is your network of choice

Install the PB Legacy app on your phone.

  1. Download the PB Legacy app on your phone.

Download the PB Legacy iOS app

Download the PB Legacy Android app

  1. Make sure your Bluetooth is ON.

For iOS users, there are two places on your iPhone for Bluetooth settings:

  • Check on the Control Center if the Bluetooth button icon is enabled AND on your phone's Settings > Bluetooth.
  1. Log in to the app.
  2. Tap on the + sign to add your item to the PB Legacy app.
  3. Double press the button on your Pebblebee item
  4. If an update is available, it will be offered on the initial set up.

You can also check for updates on demand by tapping on "Software update" on your device details (you must be near to your item to perform this check). If there is an update available, you will be able to continue and update it from there.

Note: Pebblebee Universal items are not compatible with the PB Legacy app. Attempting to pair them with the PB Legacy app won't work.

If you purchased a Pebblebee for Android item and want to use it with the PB Legacy app

In order to use your Pebblebee for Android item with the PB Legacy app, an update will be offered during the claiming process.

Updating your item won't remove Google's Find My Device compatibility. If you have updated your item, you should still be able to pair it with Google's Find My Device app (A factory reset is required to switch networks since an item can not be paired with both apps at the same time).

If you don't see your device on the list of scanned items:

  • Make sure Bluetooth is ON.
  • Make sure you phone and Pebblebee item are close to each other.
  • Close the app and open it again.
  • Make sure your device is charged. Press and hold the button, the LEDs should indicate the battery level.
  • Perform a factory reset by pressing 3 times, then holding on to the 4th press until a confirmation beep sound (Check factory reset steps)
  • After the factory reset, reopen the PB Legacy app and re-attempt pairing/updating it again.
