How to make tour iPhone undiscoverable

How do you revert back to having your phone undiscoverable in Settings? Please don’t say just turn off the Bluetooth on Control. I’m talking about in Settings > Bluetooth under the Bluetooth toggle on-off previously it said the phone wasn’t discoverable and then by accident I turned it on.

I stand corrected regarding my own request. Apparently, turning off the Bluetooth in the Control Panel is the way to do that. When you go into settings after turning Bluetooth off on the panel it still shows Bluetooth on in Settings, but that your phone is undiscoverable.
