Hi,

After I installed ios 11 on iphone 7 the Bluetooth icon always shows as ON on the upper right corner of the screen even when nothing is connected to it.

Please help.

I’m also experiencing the always-on BT icon now. Confirmed no BT devices were connected. Missing the old gray icon when BT was enabled but nothing connected. Hope Apple adds that back in a future release.

The issue is that it’s not grey. It’s just always bold and black like something is connected to it. It’s suppose to be grey but it’s not. Every since iOS 11 my iPhone 7 has been acting weird.
