No. AirDrop needs BT and Wifi to work so it turns them on if they are not on so it can use them. however when turning off AirDrop, you may still want to use Wifi or Bt for something else, so it does not turn them off itself. Its perfectly normal.



Just turn them off from the control panel, if you are not going to be using them.
