How to rearrange Control Center so Bluetooth doesn't turn on every time I turn off Airplane?

Hi,

Recently got iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.1.1.

I like Bluetooth off, just Wifi and Cellular on. I also use airplane mode a lot. Before, when I turned Airplane Mode off, Bluetooth would stay off. But now, every time I turn off Airplane Mode, I also have to turn off Bluetooth, even tho it was off before.


How can I have Bluetooth not turn on every time I turn off Airplane?

When Airplane Mode is activated, any previous action of manually enabling the WiFi will consistently be replicated each time Airplane Mode is switched on. This means that if you've turned on the WiFi after activating Airplane Mode, that specific action will be repeated automatically whenever you toggle Airplane Mode on again. Essentially, the system remembers and reinstates the state of the WiFi that was set before entering Airplane Mode, ensuring that the WiFi behavior remains consistent whenever you use Airplane Mode.


This is true for Bluetooth too.
