Hi. Apple has a new concept for Bluetooth and WiFi, as described in this link: Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center with iOS 11 - Apple Support. Basically, the Control Center controls now only turn things off temporarily. Use Settings to turn them off completely.

More than once a Bluetooth speaker in my room has connected in the middle of the night to the quiet music I have playing from my phone. My bluetooth was not on and it plays as loud as possible. I honestly have no idea why the ‘geniuses’ at Apple would think it is helpful to be jolted up at 2 am by my speakers blaring

THIS UPDATE IS NOT HELPFUL GET THE F*** RID OF IT PLEASE

Or at least get your shirt together and give us a way to stop it from happening

More of these and I will honestly throw my phone in the garbage and buy an android

Agreed, what a ridiculous feature. Just because Apple created it, doesn't mean I blindly want it. Consider the ramifications of feckless and ill-conceived feature. I now turn off my phone completely at night and start it in the morning. Also the security ramifications of transmitting a BT signal everywhere I go... surely someone at Apple goes to Blackhat. Someone's IOS phone always gets hacked because BlueTooth is transmitting. It might solve one issue around ease of use to enable BlueTooth constantly, but it creates a whole host of others.

Yes, but besides manually restarting with it turned back on this unwanted “ magic” happens randomly as well on my brand new stupidly expensive 10.5 Pro. This and the still missing artist pics in Itunes - broken for two years now- is why I’ve diverged into purchasing other manufactures products. As a matter of fact the only Apple products I own that are working 100% as expected are my old iPad 4 running iOS 6 - except safari- and my iPhone 4s running same OS. That iphone is 4 times the speed in everything vs my IPhone 6!
