Ability to turn Bluetooth Classic on from the Music Control screen

If Bluetooth Classic is currently turned off and you double tap the home button it brings up a screen that says it is "Not Connected" with the upper right button to dismiss the message.

 

I propose that you add the ability to turn Bluetooth Classic on with the lower right button. That way even if you forgot to turn BT Classic on before you started your run, you can still turn it on without stopping the run, going into settings, etc. ...

 

It would be much easier to be able to turn it on right from the "Not Connected" screen.

 

And on top of that it would be great if there was an option to have BT Classic automatically turn off after x minutes of inactivity to save battery life.

I agree with you @Michael! I don't like to stop while exercising, and this will make easier to turn the Bluetooth Classic on. I'll definitely pass this on to the rest of the team to review.

 

Thanks for sharing such a great idea.
