    My brother you just explained a 20 step prep to have a method to turn off Bluetooth which should be done so by the tap of a button.

      It’s a useful feature to be honest.

      It meant to be used when you want to disconnect temporarily.

      Lets say you are connected to a cafe wifi and want to browse a website but at the moment the wifi is slow or the site has issues with the wifi. At this time, you want to temporarily disconnect from the wifi then do whatever you want to do.

      You don’t need to turn it back on. It’ll turn on automatically. You don’t want to realize that you’re using cellular data after you watch 1 hour of a 4k video.

      Same applies to bluetooth.

      It’s a two-step process to turn off bluetooth on an iPhone. Swipe down from the top to get to the menu, tap the bluetooth icon.

          So you’re saying the way I turn off bluetooth on my phone doesn’t turn off bluetooth on my phone? I’m really confused here. It takes one down swipe at the top of the phone to access this menu. In every app.

            Yes. It doesn’t turn it off completely, only partially. It stops your phone from connecting with some devices (headphones, speakers etc.) but not from connecting with others (smart TV’s, Find My-enabled stuff etc.)

            In order to turn it completely off you have to go to the Settings.
