Hey there Hoursoutthewindow,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re not seeing the Bluetooth icon on your iPhone, even though it is connected and working. I’ll be happy to help with this.


To verify, even if Bluetooth is on, it may not show in on the home screen unless it is paired and working with a device.


If that’s the case, restart your iPhone and see if this resolves the issue:


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Try turning Bluetooth off in Settings > Bluetooth. Restart again and turn Bluetooth back on. 


Let me know if this helps.
