    The stupid attempt to have everyone leave bluetooth always on pisses me off. They’ve made the BT quick tile 2 more presses to toggle on or off is ridiculous. It’s not a quick tile.

    I’ve just put a BT on/off widget on my home screen.

      Could you develop on “attempt to have everyone leave bluetooth” ? What do they want us to use instead ?

      There is an Xposed module to replace the tiles back to a simple on/off toggle, for both BT tile and WiFi tile.

      You need to grab your control back lol

      Also if you don’t have root on your personal Android devices these days… lol may Google have mercy on you lmao (hint: they won’t lol)
