The button in the Control Center does not turn off Bluetooth; it disconnects currently connected devices. To turn off Bluetooth go to Settings/Bluetooth and turn if off. Similarly, the Wi-Fi button does not turn off Wi-Fi, it just disconnects from the current Wi-Fi network.

No.


  • Tap on Settings on the Home screen
  • Tap on Bluetooth
  • Turn the switch OFF


Although there is rarely a good reason to turn it off; with it off Find My will be less accurate, Find My Network that can locate a lost phone when it is powered off won’t work at all, and none of these will be usable:


  • AirDrop
  • AirPlay
  • Apple Watch
  • Continuity features, like Handoff and Instant Hotspot
  • Instant Hotspot
  • Location Services
  • Unlock with Apple Watch
