Bluetooth icon cannot be placed on status bar

[Griffin459]

Is there a way to place the Bluetooth icon on the status bar when the Bluetooth is activated?

No just the S21, my previous S8 had a button to turn on or off the Bluetooth  icon on the status bar.

In that picture, nothing is actively connected to your Bluetooth. If there was, it wouldn't say Bluetooth underneath, it would name the device actively connected. 

Since there is no device actively connected, the Bluetooth icon will not show in the status bar. 

A device has to be actively connected for the Bluetooth icon to appear in the status bar.

It is connected and active

Just to clarify, are you referring to the status bar across the top where it shows the time or the quick settings drop down?

Top right side where battery is

What type of device do you have connected to your Bluetooth? If you don't have any device connected to your Bluetooth, the icon won't show in the top right corner.

I will check my wife's phone when her car is connected on Bluetooth and let you know

Did you get a chance to give this a try?

[Griffin459]

yes I did. my wife's phone S21 is hooked up to her car. and you are right. the icon shows up in the status bar on the home page.

Glad to hear it's working for you! ^_^
