How to remove other devices from iPhone 16 pro in bluetooth

I have a few devices that show up on my phone now since my niece and nephew come over, or my parents and they stay listed under other devices. Is this normal or is there a way to remove them as they are NOT my devices?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

What you are probably seeing are devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy. Many wireless speakers, wireless entry systems (think cars and homes), TV, etc. use this standard and it’s designed to identify itself to other Bluetooth devices. They are not connected, just showing you they’re in the area.
