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.

It now takes 3 steps to turn bluetooth/wifi/etc on and off.

This is not an upgrade. This is a microsoft level "enhancement" that makes it less user friendly.

Samsung, fix this.

It now takes more steps to turn on/off wifi/location/bluetooth/etc.

It used to be a swipe and a tap.

Fast. Efficient. 

Now its a swipe, tap, load a screen, then tap again.

This is not an upgrade.

Yes, the bluetooth symbol is helpful. Now I forget to turn it off because I can't see the symbol as a reminder. When it is on, it uses more battery power for no reason!
Why would you make this change, it makes no sense.

Any updates on this? Really inconvenient to have to swipe down to see if anything is connected.

Terrible design decision to make users have to perform an additional action just to see essential status information in the STATUS BAR. Please revert or provide an option to configure.

What samsung  needs to know, is that Bixby stinks, we don't want it. Ai is invasive, we'd like to opt out. And quit fussing with things that aren't broken. There was absolutely no need to make the settings pull down less usable and remove the bluetooth and alarm icons from the display. And the tictac battery icon is difficult to read for the vision impaired. Ui6 was better.

Just got update for S23 and the same problem, alarm and BT icons not visible on status bar. What a regression compared to one ui 6.1...

I can't believe Samsung has removed the Bluetooth symbol with no option to get it back. I want to be able to see at a quick glance if my headphones are connected so I know when to turn them off!

This iPhon-ish choise is really a downgrade. Alarm and bluetooth symbols on bar were perfect. Bring them back, please
