Bluetooth turns itself on every day after Android 16 update (feddit.online)

After my phone updated to Android 16 last week, I've noticed that bluetooth gets re-enabled every day, even though I manually turn it off. I never use anything with bluetooth, so I figure I should just leave it off. I disable it in the top pull-down settings menu. But, every morning, it is turned back on again. I'm about 99.9% sure that I'm not turning it on in my sleep.

Any ideas as to why this could be happening?

Phone: Pixel 6a

Such a dumb feature... Glad they let you turn it off.

I find it useful since I'm normally turning it off to prevent it from connecting to something right now (speakers so someone else can connect etc), and I never have to think about turning it back on
