Is it safe to use Bluetooth ?

Even if your phone isn't connected to anything but your headphones

If a device tries to connect via Bluetooth it will always ask so it isn't a security risk.

I have it on currently now due to the UK covid-19 track & trace app. But when I drove a lot I always left it on to connect to the car for hands free

@SW-User Thankyou - that's re-assuring!

As it happens my 'phone is not suitable for Bluetooth or any coloured teeth, and is not linked to the Internet anyway, so I can't load the NHS tracing application.

You may have been driving professionally so needed the communications, but I never have my 'phone on when driving as it is not a hands-free type, nor for that matter in social situations.
