Feature Request: PLEASE bring back being able to see more status bar icons on the top left corner

[TheBatman787]

Dear Samsung, 

PLEASE bring back being able to see more status bar icons on the top left corner. You used to be able to see six status bar icons on the top left corner and now its only three. I just switched from IPhone to now samsung S25 Ultra and I shall say one of the reasons for switching was because of the unique feature of the status bar icon. PLEASE bring back with at least the option to increase the number amount of status bar icon or shorten!!!

I do believe there is still discretion here though:

Samsung doesn't just accept Google Android updates without scrutiny. Samsung uses the Android operating system on its Galaxy phones and tablets, but it heavily customizes it with its own "One UI" software skin. This means that when Google releases a new version of Android, Samsung has to: 

Adapt the update for its specific hardware: Each Samsung device has different components (screens, chipsets, etc.), and the Android update needs to be configured to work with them.

Integrate One UI and its features: Samsung has to merge the new Android features with its own One UI interface and features, which takes time and effort.

Test the update thoroughly: Before releasing the update to users, Samsung conducts extensive testing to ensure that it's stable and free of bugs.

Coordinate with carriers: In some cases, carriers may also need to test and approve the update before it's released to their customers. 

Maybe i'm wrong. That's fine. The update still sucks though and apparently apple has done some similar updates. This is an actual problem. People at my work place, my friends, wife, etc...we don't get the same notifications. None of us have gotten used to actually unlocking our phones and checking apps regularly.

Samsung allows customization through it's Good Lock modules.  Some modules have not yet been updated to allow this particular customization.  Perhaps the Good Lock team is working on it, I don't know.

That is a good point and is honestly our only hope for accomodations.

I think OP is asking about having more notification icons, not indicator icons.

[TheBatman787]

Yes exactly this^

[realaud]

ok, but I don't know why anyone would want the clutter of more than 3 icons.  If you see even one icon, you know you have notifications to look at, having more of them isn't going to cause you to look or not look at the notifications.

[Mujibar]

Everybody has different ways of dealing with notifications. I personally like being able to see that I have notifications from different apps on the status bar, instead of having to swipe down on the tray every single time.

I know everybody has different preferences, I just don't understand why people want their status bar so cluttered up and messy. There is only so much real estate on the bar and some people get a lot of notifications. You can have all the icons you want on the lock screen. If one sees all the little icons there, the have to pull the shade down to read their notifications anyway, so why bother with even more than one icon? Three is more than sufficient to know it needs attention. Even if it's a junk notification, you don't need to look at, you still have to pull the shade to dismiss it.

Everybody has preference That's how most people function are they want things remain the same I know I'm one of them

We relied on those icons. Now we have to open the phone and are missing important conversations, lost in the sea of BS when we used to have them show up in the note bar.
