Bluetooth applet missing after upgrade

Raspberry Pi has made changes to their audio/bluetooth control in Dec 2020. They moved away from Alsa to PulseAudio. The Mate image for Rpi is old and uses Also [which works perfectly, btw]. However, apt upgrade will mess both audio and bluetooth. This is a known problem which apparently was fixed in latest updates.
However, in my case, that's not how it's turning out to be (both in Raspberry Pi OS and Mate). Audio works fine, but bluetooth applet has disappeared.
Anyone experienced this ? or knows how to fix?
TIA
