One UI 7: Bluetooth and alarm icon not showing in status bar (top right)?

[Members_VrPCVuL]

Seriously Samsung, why??? Please at least allow people to select which icons they want to see. Knowing about a connected(!) bluetooth device or an alarm that is set is absolutely essential. Needs to be visible without swiping down first.

Yes please bring back the status bar. It was one of the best features in andriod. I don't know why you lot removed it 🙄

Definitely put them back! Quick confirmation is essential often. It's NOT clutter and it's not "clean" now. There is still the black bar, it's just mostly empty now. I would prefer the multiple notification icons return also.

I just updated my phone today and the fact the Bluetooth and alarm icons are gone is causing my anxiety disorder to flare up. I NEED the concrete reassurance at a glance that my alarm is set.

Please restore these indicators, whatever was the logic in removing them? I like to see that my alarm is active for the morning, simple peace of mind for the sake of a few pixels. Please!

Bluetooth icon in status bar please. Or at least the option to put it there.

It's unbelievable that this was an intentional design decision. How much can you ignore or not understand your customers wishes?! I just got the UI 7 update (Samsung S21 Ultra) and immediately missed the icons. I'm now so glad I didn't buy already the S25 Ultra. If this issue isn't resolved with one of the next updates, my next phone will unfortunately not be an S25 or any other Samsung phone.

Hi Anna.

Yes bring this back.

I truly hope this is not just a scam to let people think we are being taken serious.

Bring it back!!! It's essential feature.

It is alarming that Samsung have removed such critical status bar icons. Most people want to see that their headsets have connected / disconnected when glancing at the status bar. Samsung seem to be missing a critical point here. If we had wanted an iPhone, we would have bought an iPhone.

Samsung used to be proud if their UI identity but seem to be losing it now.
