But i want to see if my iPhone is connected to a bluetooth device or not, like in the previous versions.
If I’m not mistaken, from iOS 11 the Bluetooth icon only told you Bluetooth was on, not whether or not it was connected to a device. So nothing lost in terms of seeing whether you're connect to a device or not.
Although in iOS 12 the Bluetooth icon has gone completely, any additional icons you used to see when connected to a device (such as battery level, headphone icon, depending on the Bluetooth device’s support for those icons) will continue to show. So that's still one way to know if you’re connected. Again, nothing lost in terms of seeing whether you're connect to a device or not.
To see if Bluetooth is on or not (the only lost feature in iOS 12's status bar), the quickest way now is to open Control Centre. From there you can also 3D Touch on the connectivity panel to see if it’s connected to anything.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but airplane mode isn’t really working properly from control center. It turns cellular data off, but not WiFi and Bluetooth.
That’s how it is on iOS 11. I’m pretty sure that’s intended behavior.

If you turned on WiFi and Bluetooth during Airplane mode it will remember that preference next time you enter Airplane mode. Same if you turn those off during Airplane mode, it’ll turn them off next time too.
Airplane mode behavior changed in iOS 11.
If you want it to turn off wifi and bluetooth, just turn on airplane mode, then manually turn off Wifi and Bluetooth. It will remember that and turn them off every time now.
Most airlines no longer require that WiFi and Bluetooth be off; just cellular. This way, you can use in-flight WiFi and your bluetooth devices without the inconvenience of them being turned off every time you enable airplane mode.
And I love it that way. I get no signal at work and I can use Wi-Fi at work for calls and texts... one button and I can make that happen. Definitely a nice change that Apple implemented.
Why do you need to go onto Airplane mode to activate WiFi calling? My school is underground and I lose service and it auto connects to WiFi Calling.
I always have my phone set to Do Not Disturb. How do I get rid of the notification that tells me notification will remain silent while my phone is locked? I know that, I've had it set to DND for years now. I can clear the notification but it keeps coming back.
You can’t, I’ve submitted a sugggestion to Apple to allow this, the more who do this the better
Hi guys, I need some feedback from you regarding an issue I have had since iOS 11. The issue has to do with messages via iCloud. When they released the functionality I activated this feature on my iPhone 8. However, something went wrong during the first sync... the sync was hanging and the phone was not responsive for a while. I did a hard reset and after the phone rebooted, the messages appeared to be syncing again. Well... that was not the case since whenever I do a clean install on my phone and sign in with my Apple ID, set up the phone as new, all attachments and message threads within messages are not being restored. I used a test iPhone when I reinstalled it and then compared the messages and attachments to the phone that I use every day. I have sent several bug reports to Apple and all they say is that they can see that the sync was successful (via sysdiagnose files). Well, even if it says that the sync was successful, everything is not being restored properly.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do? I mean, i have sent them sysdiagnose files from both phones, screen recordings where you clearly can see the issue?

Ok good, not just my iPad. My iPhone loads fine too. I even attached my iPad to my iPhone hotspot for a cellular test and it still doesn’t load. Must be an Apple Server issue.
I am in the US on ATT uVerse, if that matters.
you need iTunes 12.7.5. I told Apple about it but they didn't know why it was the case and said they'd forward the info to the beta team or whoever.
Sorry, I could only find Windows:
Download: iTunes 12.7.5 (32-bit)
Download: iTunes 12.7.5 (64-bit)
On my iPad pro 10.5, the icon shows, for example, when my Bluetooth headphones are connected.
Every time I open the app store on my iPad Pro 10.5, it fails to load (and notifies me of such). I tap the reload button and it loads fine. This happens 100% of the time.
Just a plain Bluetooth icon- not something I covered in the middle paragraph?
It has done that in the past for me as well, but today it just won’t load the today tab even after hitting retry. It updates apps fine and loads all other content, so I guess it is something on Apple’s side.
Release version of 12 will have better battery life as the beta is doing lots of log files etc
