I've had my s25 ultra for 2 days now. Yesterday I noticed the Now Bar had disappeared from my lock screen. I changed wallpapers and it reappeared, then vanished again. I did factory reset today and it reappeared. I then enabled the Now Brief and it disappeared again. I got a sports notification and it appeared on the space where Now Bar resided on my lock screen. Anyone know if Now Bar is supposed to be there all the time or only when I get a notification or listen to music?
I feel like I'd be missing out on one of the nice features if Now Bar keeps vanishing!

Same problem on my S25 Ultra. Now Bar disappeared from the lock screen and live sports doesn't work. Had added a soccer team but it never showed the notification when they played.

I try to stay up to date with S25 Ultra news and it is so dissappointing to read an article that says, you can do this with Now Bar and you can do that with the Now Bar. Because...you can't do ANYTHING with it if the Now Bar ISN'T on the lockscreen!!!!! As far as AI, I changed my assistant to Gemini and asked it to play a song on YouTube Premium and it said IT COULDN'T DO IT. That was a deal breaker for me. I'm back to Google as my assistant. Well I am enjoying the phones performance and the other improvements. About all I can say for now.

To see items on your Now bar, actions must be in use. In the Now Bar section of settings, there is a list of items to choose from. All your routines will be there, too.

Choose the ones you want!

If no actions are currently running, nothing will be displayed.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, post them here!

Now Bar? Is that a feature of OneUI7? Sounds like one more annoying, unnecessary thing to add clutter. Can it be turned off? At rhis point, I think I'd like to stay with 6.1 forever.

You have to be using certain actions, music, YouTube, Workouts, timers, Routines, Maps and a bunch of others.
If now of those things are active, nothing will be in your now bar.
