Hey Sandy87,


It sounds like you may be trying to disable Bluetooth on your iPhone.


If that's the case, you can find the steps to do that here: Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center - Apple Support


"Disconnect from Bluetooth accessories

Open Control Center on your iPhone or iPod touch, or iPad and tap the Bluetooth button the Bluetooth icon. The icon dims and your device disconnects from any accessory it's connected to, except for Apple Watch, Instant Hotspot, Apple Pencil, and Continuity features, like Handoff.

If Bluetooth is turned off, you won’t be able to connect your iOS or iPadOS device to your Bluetooth accessories until:

  1. You turn on Bluetooth in Control Center.
  2. You connect to a Bluetooth accessory in Settings > Bluetooth, or by tapping the AirPlay icon  or  and selecting a bluetooth accessory.
  3. It's 5 AM local time.
  4. You restart your device.


Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

If you want to completely disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for all networks and devices, follow these steps:

  1. To turn off Wi-Fi, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
  2. To turn off Bluetooth, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.

For the best experience on your iOS or iPadOS device, try to keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

Airplane Mode may also turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, unless you turned them on while in Airplane Mode. Learn more about how to use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in Airplane Mode."


Thanks!
