Three icon limit in status bar

[Jieji]

This is a really silly limitation. I think most people end up with more notifications than that. This was not an issue on my S10+ but seems to be a change in One UI 7. Why??

The problem is even worse when you use Good Lock to move the clock over to the right.

+1, I really dislike this change. I would accept the three icons limit to be the default, but for goodness' sake, Samsung, bring back the option to show more notifications on the status bar! 

I guess the change was dictated by the introduction of the Now bar, but I don't see any reason to limit the notification icons when the bar is not shown, especially when the clock is on the right. 

Like, really, I used to have 7 notification icons before Samsung came and left me with (!) two, because one of the three is the overflow dot. That the worst thing to make to the notification UX that they could do.

It's absolutely ridiculous to limit people to 3 notifications (down to just TWO on the AOD/lock screen). I don't use the Now Bar (my phone is my main productivity device), and seeing all that notification bar space being blank and wasted and only 3 icons there is infuriating.
Combined with the removal of the option to have larger notifications icons on the AOD/lock screen (you're out of luck if you don't want to use cards there), and forcing messaging and reminders apps to collapse all of notifications into one, instead of leaving us the option to see individual notifications (very useful to keep visual track of tasks left to do), I REALLY don't understand what Samsung is doing destroying notification basic usefulness like that. My mind is blown... And not in a good way. And I've been using Samsung flagships yearly since the OG Note...

SAMSUNG LISTEN TO US.
That iphone 17 is looking tempting 😤

I'm really hating one ui 7 for this and removal of lockscreen widgets

[bestofferbob]

I created an account literally to complain about this feature being removed. Samsung really dropped the ball on this.

Time for Samsung to listen to customers what they want and dont want.

This is really a silly misstake by Samsung.

Just fix it!!

Also made an account to complain, I don't understand the constant desire to remove options for things no one asked for. Now bar? I can't even really disable it without disabling all the "live notifications" which just means they don't show up in my notification panel and that doesn't even restore the ability to have more than 3 icons.

It's even worse since I have a Fold 6. All that unused space up top on the big screen, and the now bar only takes up about the space of 3 icons and so there's still a huge empty space

Not the only issue I have with this OS update, it's gonna be complicated but I'm gonna see how I can downgrade lol

I have returned S25 ultra back to Amazon, going back to my note 9. 

I may as well try iPhone if they are going to change everything. Taking away features is good practice, just like the S-pen!

[TheTomCZ]

Same problem here. I need my notifications back!

[all_bran]

Same here.  Made an account just to voice my displeasure.  Also to say PUT THE AOD BACK THE WAY IT WAS!
