Warning Message When Connecting a Logitech Device to iPadOS

Bluetooth Mouse or Keyboard Not Recognized After Reboot on macOS (Intel-based Mac) with FileVault
If your Bluetooth mouse or keyboard fails to reconnect at the login screen after a reboot and only reconnects after logging in, this may be related to FileVault encryption. When FileVault is enabled, Bluetooth mice and keyboards will only re-establish connection after you log in.
Potential Solutions:
- If your Logitech device includes a USB receiver, using it will resolve this issue.
- Use your MacBook's built-in keyboard and trackpad to log in.
- Use a USB keyboard or mouse to log in.
Note: This issue is resolved in macOS 12.3 and later on M1-based Macs. Users with older versions may still encounter this problem.
