I am looking for an auto toggle feature for the swipe down menu. Sometimes I forget to turn off Bluetooth, location, or other toggles on the drop down menu. Is there such a way to have Bluetooth shutoff after 15 mins of inactivity? Or say Mic, camera toggle off after X time of no use, location toggle, etc. Pixel 6 Pro.

GrapheneOS supports disabling Wifi and Bluetooth after some inactivity.

I think it's also possible to do this with the apps Tasker or Automate, but I'm not sure how much they are able to do and how privacy friendly they are.

Where do I enable this function in the settings? My Bluetooth and WiFi always stay on draining my battery.

Tasker could probably do at least the bluetooth and location toggles, I haven't tried the mic and camera though.

I will check this out. I believe its similar to automate. Just need to check what's embedded in their apps. Tracking wise.
