This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

    Does it not turn on Bluetooth before opening that menu?

    It does for me.

    Bluetooth on: single tap turns it off.

    Bluetooth off: single tap turns it on and opens that menu so you can select a device to connect to. (it still connects to the last connected device automatically) From there tapping back or tapping beside it closes it.

    Been that way for several years now. (Samsung A54, and A52 prior to this one)

      Not on my Pixel 8. Single tap on the Bluetooth button only opens the Bluetooth connection screen with a separate toggle to actually turn on Bluetooth once you’re in there. Google likes to do things the hard way.

          I just drag down from the top of the screen, and tap the Bluetooth button. That’s it. The Bluetooth connection screen pops up, but that doesn’t turn on Bluetooth. I have tap the toggle to actually turn on Bluetooth, just like OP describes. I have a Pixel 8 with stock Android 14.

      You have a Samsung, so you can avoid Google’s UI dumbing down.
