The latest update has changed the format of the battery remaining icon.  I CANNOT read it anymore   How do I give feedback to see if it can be changed back?  Is there a way to change it myself?

it used to be just a number on the standard background.  Now it is the number encircled with a white background (or black, depending on the site I am on)

The only way I can see my battery remaining is to screenshot my screen and then blow up the image to read the number.  

I have the S24 Ultra

I have found several threads on here about this issue.  One user on another thread has mentioned using an app called PowerLine. It add a bar across the top or side of your screen that represents the % left on your battery.  You can also set a change to red at say 20% or 15%  whatever you would like.

I did also add the Battery Widget,  but it is a tiny annoyance that I cannot select a format that only shows 1 battery level,  the minimum is 2,  eg the battery and the pen.  I can hide the pen, but the widget still takes up the screen area needed for 2 icons even if only one is displayed.

Additionally, each time I restart the phone it reveals the hidden part of the widget and I need to hide it again.

THANK YOU!! Samsung needs to learn if it isnt broke stop fixing it! No one asked you to make it the size of a tiny tic tac... my phone has died more in the past 4 weeks than in the 3 years I have had it!!! Ridiculous, I am starting to really HATE their updates!!!

For me it's not the size as much as the shading that covers it up making it translucent. Can that be taken out or change the contrast?
