How to stop spinning wheel under "OTHER DEVICES" in Bluetooth on connected ipad Versa?

Whenever you access Bluetooth settings, your iPad will switch its Bluetooth to “discovery mode”. The spinning pinwheel indicates that the iPad is searching for devices that can be “discovered”.
Discovery mode will cease as soon as you exit Bluetooth settings. You cannot exit discovery mode (and the spinning pinwheel) while Bluetooth settings are open.
Think of this to be similar to the light in your refrigerator. Whenever the door is open (analogous to your opening Bluetooth settings), the refrigerator light is on (the pinwheel will spin). When you close the door, the light switches off - but you can’t see the refrigerator light is off because the door is closed 🙂
