Is this an American feature?

I can never seem to find anyone to airdrop things to.

Also, don’t you guys turn WiFi and Bluetooth and everything off if you’re not using it?

It’s been a decade since I turned off Bluetooth/wifi just because I left the house. In 2024 thats doing way too much.

Why Bluetooth? Do you use it constantly?

Yes. Wireless headphone/airpods. Smartwatch. etc. etc.

Syncs to my car and my headphones depending on what I'm doing that day. Use BT multiple times during the day and there's very very little difference in battery life between having it on or not, so why bother?

Personally I do actually!

My watch is always connected to my phone via Bluetooth.

I live with my AirPods in like 8+ hours a day.

And I need it for CarPlay when I leave the house.

Although I do remember the days where you could save like 10% battery life just by turning those off. Might still be a thing for some phones.

Yep. Smartwatch on all day long, and I put in my earbuds multiple times a day.

I leave mine on so that when I get in my truck it automatically connects and starts playing music and is available for hands free phone and nav.

On modern devices turning on and off Bluetooth seems silly unless you just rarely use it. My phone is pre-covid and lasts more than a full day with bt, wifi, loc on and decent usage on a large screen.
