&lt;p&gt;You can use the getDescriptor() function from BluetoothGattCharacteristic to read the descriptor.
To read User Description descriptor you would need to getDescriptor(UUID) with UUID = 0000&lt;strong&gt;2901&lt;/strong&gt;-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can refer to how we get the CCCD (0000&lt;strong&gt;2902&lt;/strong&gt;-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) in our examples, for example in enableTXNotification() function in nRFUART app example.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
