Introduce the issue

I think Bluetooth enable/disable setting is not accessible enough and that it should be easier to toggle.

Most of operating systems make Bluetooth settings very easy to change, I don't see why this case is different. I often turn off Bluetooth to preserve battery when I don't need it. But now it's at the bottom of the settings list and accessing it requires 5 actions!

Curious if I'm the outlier here and if others feel the same.

Preferred solution

I see these solutions:

  1. Move from bottom of the list to the top. Maybe could be switched with "Time format", how often Time format needs to be changed?
  2. Replace Flashlight Quick Setting with Bluetooth toggle. I think watch flashlight is very impractical, but maybe it's just me.
    2.1. Allow to configure 1 quick setting button action - either Flashlight or Bluetooth or maybe something else?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify which proposed interaction is intended: moving Bluetooth in settings, replacing the flashlight quick setting, or making that button configurable. Done should mean the selected design provides a clearly easier Bluetooth toggle and is agreed by the project.
