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.

Completely agree with the first message on this thread:

1 - bluetooth and alarm status should have the possibility to be displayed permanently, it’s part of this non-conscious checks one does at certain times like "is my bluetooth on as I just started my speaker" etc.

2 - Alarm widget is now purple and cannot be made transparent...not suitable for all themes and wallpaperd. At least give the possibility to remove the background like on weather widget.

Thank you for considering the many replies on this thread and listening to the users !

The new UI  look is not an improvement. Removing the items available on status bar is horrible. Put the bluetooth (and all other removed items) back on the status bar.   This update looks and feels like it was done for no good reason other than aggravating users to get attention.

Looks like this is the guy responsible:

Dude's name is Mauro Porcini. Maybe we should contact him directly instead of hoping for something here.

I don't know what kind of a dumb engineer or managers thought that removing the Bluetooth and alarm clock icons were a good idea, but I wish them life long constipation

Who in their right mind made this go away anyways? Nobody asked for it and it was a stupid decision

Please can we have alarm icon back and lock screen access to turn alarm off as before.

Please bring it back, at least as an option to enable!

Bring back the alarm icon AND bluetooth. Such a dumb idea to remove them. Why not remove all the icons and app icons too if you want a cleaner UI. The dude that came up with this should be fired. The screens are big enough to handle these ico s and you do t notice them but if you want to check if BT is on a quick glance and you know without opening swiping down to check. Absolutely essential to most users. Did anyone at samsung actually ask or consult users?

Please restore the alarm and ble icons. They are a must.
