When you connect your bluetooth earphones/headphones, you want to know whether they are connected to prevent accidental playback of audio out loud.
It used to be easy to glance at the top of the screen to see this information with the bluetooth icon. Now I have to swipe down to the quick access menu to see if it is connected.
Sometimes I accidentally leave bluetooth on after putting my earphones or headphones away. Now there's no icon to remind me that it is still enabled, wasting battery.
If I forget to set my alarm for the next morning, the absence of the alarm clock symbol would remind me. Now there is no symbol for when the alarm is enabled.
QuickStar used to allow these icons to be customised. Sadly this app no longer functions properly when trying to enable some icons including bluetooth.
What motivation could Samsung possibly have for preventing these icons from being re-enabled in the QuickStar app, even if they decided to disable them by default for aesthetics and ergonomics?
Please, please allow all icons to be customised in the QuickStar app if nothing else.
Furthermore, a similar issue occured where secure folder notifications started appearing after the older One UI 6 update stating that the folder is locked, in essence giving any thief or unauthorised persons knowledge of both the folders' existence and the fact is it being used, even when the "hide secure folder" is enabled, which is designed to make the folder hidden or discreet. This notification at startup will not swipe away unless the folder is unlocked, defeating the purpose of the discreteness of it.
I raised this issue with Samsung last year, but of course nothing has been done about it. I don't hold up much hope for these One UI 7 changes becoming customisable as they were in One UI 6. Not to mention the new location of the app menu search bar at the bottom which is not changeable, and the music player at the bottom of the lock screen which is much smaller than it used to be.
