Need BLE connection support for hiding the icon

[ihateupdatespff]

It is very important that you add support for connecting BLE directly through the Wearable app instead of through the system. This creates a hidden Bluetooth connection that does not appear in the status bar. This is how it works on Xiaomi bracelets, and it was also the case with the Fit 3 on my Galaxy S23 Ultra. However, this option has disappeared on the 25 Ultra.

This is very important because I don’t want to see the Bluetooth icon when my bracelet is connected since it is always connected anyway. I want to see the BT connection icon only when I connect to my car or pair my headphones. That’s exactly how it worked before. But now you are making the connection through the system, and I constantly see the connection icon, which makes it extremely difficult to tell when my headphones are connected or when I’ve connected to my car.

And please don’t tell me that I can check in the device settings. Buy a car and then tell me how you’re supposed to take extra steps while driving when this feature was always there and working, but you removed it.

I don't know about you, but when my phone is connected to my car, it says on my car's screen that the phone is connected, and I can see the icon for the signal strength and battery level.  When I connect my ear buds, a little voice in my ear says "connected". So, I am not quite sure I understand what your issue is other than you don't like to see the BT icon.  You can't have a separate BT icon for each device, and even if you could, you *still* would not know which device was connected without pulling the screen down to see.
