What is Private Relay
iCloud Private Relay, an Apple privacy feature in iCloud+ subscriptions, protects your internet activity by routing traffic through Apple's servers. However, it may interfere with device pairing, such as connecting a grill.

- Tap your Apple ID (your name at the top).
- Tap iCloud.
- Scroll down and look for Private Relay.
- If you do not see Private Relay, continue pairing your grill.
