I recently purchased a bluetooth adapter for an old speaker with the original iPod dock, which works great. (I got the Samsom BT30 that Wirecutter recommended.)

However, I always have to manually reconnect it by going to Settings / Bluetooth / My Devices and selecting it there. It does not automatically reconnect when the speaker is turned on, or when toggling bluetooth on/off in Control Center. It is not listed as an option on the Control Center Audio pane, except when I've already manually reconnected, which seems to only list AirPlay devices (my AVR and Apple TV).

It seems like it should be possible to force touch the Bluetooth icon in Control Center to access the Settings pane with the list of My Devices, but force touch only seems to work on the bottom row of icons (flashlight, etc.).

Is there any kind of shortcut for accessing the My Devices list from Control Center, or are there any other shortcuts I could use?

Thanks!

3dt settings->Bluetooth is your shortcut. Why you have to manually reconnect this bt device is the question.

The top row in control center are toggles only.
