Hello BrentOz,

We understand that you're looking for the Bluetooth icon on the iPhone 11. The icon will only show when there's an active connection to a Bluetooth device.

Set up and listen to Bluetooth devices on iPhone - Apple Support

Is it not showing even with an active connection?

Cheers!

Specialist’s answer was incorrect !

I figured out the answer: on an iPhone11 running iOS 14...:

user goes to the upper right corner of the screen,

pulls down the Control Center long dash,

on the Control Center pop up screen:

left of the battery percentage number

is where the Bluetooth connected icon symbol appears !

On an iPhone6+, this Bluetooth connected symbol appears

on the first locked/unlocked screen upper/top right near the Battery symbol,

without the Control Center PopUp.

On an iPhone11, the presence of five devices(front cam, speaker, sensors for face-id, lighting, ...)

on top area of the screen,

leaves little space for symbols, small icons, ie. the Bluetooth connected symbol.

In conclusion: Apple iOS relocated this Bluetooth connected symbol/small icon to the Control Center pop up display.

Drag down from the upper right corner of the screen to open the Control Center. There’s no room in the status bar for a Bluetooth icon on phones with the Face ID “notch”.
