Bluetooth turns itself on every day after Android 16 update

Submitted ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨tuckerm@feddit.online⁩ to ⁨askandroid@lemdro.id⁩

After my phone updated to Android 16 last week, I’ve noticed that bluetooth gets re-enabled every day, even though I manually turn it off. I never use anything with bluetooth, so I figure I should just leave it off. I disable it in the top pull-down settings menu. But, every morning, it is turned back on again. I’m about 99.9% sure that I’m not turning it on in my sleep.

Any ideas as to why this could be happening?

Phone: Pixel 6a
Android version: 16

mine gives this panel if I turn it off. I imagine that second switch does what you want Image

  Thank you! That was it. Not sure if that’s new or if I just hadn’t noticed before.

    Such a dumb feature…
    Glad they let you turn it off.

I’m using GrapheneOS, I’m not sure if the will work:

In the Settings menu, type “Automatically turn on tomorrow”.

You should see the setting to turn that off.
