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.

[EDIT:] … and if there have even more icons disappeared: please allow all icons to appear in the status bar with QuickStar (Good Lock) to be shown and prioritized. QuickStar does not distinguish between "Bluetooth" and "Bluetooth with active connection". Adding this would be the best solution.

Smasung, bring this back ASAP! To remove this function was extremely idiotic!

I would like to express my complete disagreement with the changes you made in UI 7 regarding the hiding of important information from the status bar. I thought this could be reverted through QuickStar, but to my surprise, it is not possible.

I want to express my discontent to the designers: what is this new trend of hiding important system icons? Starting with the mobile network name, the type of network used (EDGE, 3G, LTE, 5G), which is now only available when data transmission is enabled. And now even the alarm, Bluetooth, VoLTE, VoNR, VoWi-Fi icons are hidden. A phone is primarily a device for working in a mobile network, and I want to see all the icons that should be in the status bar. Or at least be able to enable them.

I do not understand who came up with such an "improvement". I urge you to reconsider this decision and return the ability to display all icons in the status bar.

Additionally, I use a Z-flip and I am also puzzled: why is there absolutely no status bar information on the external screen? Why is there no signal strength, network technology, or even the network name? Is the external screen really so small that this information cannot fit?

I also want this back. As someone else said in the comments, seeing the icon is crucial for figuring out if your headphones are actually connected to your phone. 

I also turn off Bluetooth when I don't use it, to save battery. Now, I won't see if my Bluetooth is turned on, so I will forget to turn it off.

What bugs me about Samsung's reason for making this change is that they say "it's not important" and they freed up the space "for more important things". Who gets to decide whether or not something is important? Surely, it should be the option of the individual user. Which means, there should be a setting to decide which icons should and shouldn't be visible. Or just show all, like it was before.
