This is the opposite of user hostile. The average iOS user is my mom. She’d get completely confused if she turned off Bluetooth and the phone would actually do that - she’d call me the next day to ask why she could no longer AirDrop a photo to my dad or why the kitchen speaker stopped working.
Also note that when you press this button in control center, it displays a small banner to the effect off “all Bluetooth devices disconnected until tomorrow”.
- whycome 3y agoDoes your mom know what Bluetooth devices are? Maybe the better icon would be something that just refers to “connected devices” rather than a protocol. And in doing so it even makes a bit more sense for things like AirDrop that may use a modified version of the protocol or a mix of Bluetooth and wifi (I think it negotiates via bt and transfers via wifi?).
