If Bluetooth is not on certain functions will not work, specifically, connection to an Apple watch, connection to medical devices, AirDrop, AirPlay, and the Find My Network, the feature that uses the crowd-sourced network of other iPhone users to pinpoint the location of a lost phone that does not have an internet connection.


As it uses virtually no power unless actively paired and connected there is little reason to ever turn it off.
