Yes, Bluetooth uses some battery, but it is usually not a huge drain on modern phones.

The device connected to Bluetooth matters more than the setting alone.

If Bluetooth is on but not actively doing much, the battery impact is often small.

Streaming music, using wireless earbuds, sharing data, or staying connected to multiple devices can use more power.

If you are trying to save every bit of battery, turning Bluetooth off can help a little, but screen brightness, weak signal, and heavy apps usually matter more.

Bluetooth can drain battery, but it is rarely the main battery problem by itself.
