I remember doing this in settings somewhere so that I would have more screen space but it has become more of a hassle than a help and cant change it back. Except on the home screen I have to swipe from the top to see the time, battery% ect... cant remember where I changed it but I didnt do anything extra like root or even connect to pc. How do I get this back to normal without factory reset?

If anybody wants the status bar to appear while inside Samsung internet just tap on the three squares on the top right>settings>advanced settings>toggle status bar on or off
Same happened to me on recent update. Tried various things including as above. Didn't work. Then went into Samsung Internet, three dots, settings, advanced and turned Status Bar OFF. Now have status bar on home screen & in apps! There's computer logic for you.
