Is the Bluetooth icon really gone forever?

[AppleHaterLover]

this is getting on my nerves. Sometimes I’ll willingly disconnect from my car and won’t know if it’s on or off when I need it hours later. Plus it was very useful to check whether my Watch was still in the vicinity/had died overnight.

Is there a way to bring it back to the status bar?

thanks.
to be honest i didnt notice it was gone until i read your post.
in Control Center its still there, where its been. so using Control Center is the easiest way for me to check Bluetooth status.

What do the many other threads about it say?
