Hi,

I have a Samsung A70 and on other android phones there is a setting to alter the 'Bluetooth Visibility Timeout' (standard feature), I cannot find this setting anywhere on my device.  Essentially I need my device to always be discoverable by other devices without needing to be in the bluetooth connection window. 

Or Is there anyway to do this though the developer settings?

      Hi, having the device visible for longer periods of time drain more battery, hence the device is only visible while you are on the Bluetooth pairing page. There is no feature to extend this time, however we do thank you for your feedback and have passed on this query internally.

      I looked also. It is an option removed on the latest OSes. Maybe you can extend it via adb, I look into
