Bluetooth
Keep: com.google.android.bluetooth Keep Vendor documentation
The Bluetooth system app in Google's Bluetooth Mainline module, which runs every Bluetooth connection on the phone. Keep it: Bluetooth is needed for the phone, its updates or its security.
What it does
Bluetooth is the app inside Google's build of the Bluetooth Mainline module, which takes the place of the older com.android.bluetooth package on many Google-signed builds from Android 13. It runs the Bluetooth stack for pairing, audio, calls through headsets and cars, file sharing, hearing aids and Bluetooth Low Energy links to watches and trackers. From Android 16 Google can update the full stack through Google Play system updates.
If you disable it
Bluetooth stops working entirely, so headphones, cars, watches and hearing aids disconnect.
How to disable it
On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.
