Why is Bluetooth not showing in menu bar Mac?

If your Mac menu bar not showing the Bluetooth icon, it’s usually because the icon is disabled in settings, which you can enable in System Settings ➙ Control Center ➙Bluetooth ➙ Show in Menu bar. The Bluetooth icon may be hidden among dozens of other icons on your screen, which means you need to manage your space.
