Why is my bluetooth turned on after every ipad update?

I don’t want my Bluetooth turned on automatically after every update. I turn it on WHEN I WANT IT TURNED ON. Apple needs to stop doing that. It’s not up to them to have Bluetooth turned on after every update.

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

they likely to it because it's default on, and somethings are set back to default after updates,

why? who knows maybe to save the people who by accident turned bluetooth off and then just lived with them missing the ability to communicate with their bluetooth devices


suppose you can suggest they change that behavior by using their feedback channels

Many core Apple services are reliant upon Bluetooth. By example, AirDrop, AirPlay, Find My, Handoff and device discovery services all use Bluetooth to operate.


Performing a system software update may need to enable services for the update to be effectively/reliably installed. Should you need or choose to do so, you can disable unneeded services, or Bluetooth, if required.


Out of curiosity, do you have a particular reason to fully disable Bluetooth?
