One UI 7.0: Bluetooth icon in status bar gone

[Wendolean]

Since One UI 7.0 the Bluetooth icon in the status bar is gone. Before that an active Bluetooth connection was directly visible which is extremely helpful if you have to switch your headset between smartphone and computer. Now you have to swipe down to open the notification area. This is an unnecessary functional deterioration.

Please bring back the formerly perfect behavior of the status bar.

Are you talking about the Bluetooth icon in quick panel? You can change this to how it use to be. Pull down the quick panel press the pencil icon then tap panel settings. Change this to show together. Or you can use Good Locks Quickstar module to customize your status bar and quick panel.

Hi Fiona,

thanks for Your quick response. 🙂 No, I'm not talking about the Bluetooth button within the Quick Panel, it's the Bluetooth icon in the status bar. Since One UI 7.0 the Quickstar settings only apply to the icon's visibility with expanded notification area (i. e. when you swipe down from the status bar).

Before One UI 7.0 the Bluetooth icon with two tiny triangles was shown when a device was actively Bluetooth connected. When no connection was active the icon was only shown when the notification area was expanded (then without the triangles).

Yes I know what you mean. Send feedback within the members app. Under support, let the developers know. You never know they may bring it back 🤞

Please return the Bluetooth icon to the status bar. Removing it was a poor decision with little benefit and a large cost in user experience.
