Is this for real: just set up my S25+, and I only see 3 notification icons at the top left plus a dot, and 4 status icons on the right (speaker, WiFi, signal, battery). When I swipe down, I see I have 7 notifications and 7 status icons. I can NEVER tell if my alarm, Bluetooth, or NFC is ON. What gives Samsung? Will you fix this? I finally retired my beloved S20+, and this is enough for me to dump the S25+ for something that isn't going backwards.

Am I the only one experiencing this? Am I missing something?

I don't have all my notifications go to my watch just important ones.

Live notifications are cool, but even with the Now bar active in the status bar, there's still room for at least 5 or 6 icons. Not everyone wants the minimalist look, they should give us the option to choose (like they had before in settings)

Maybe in a future QuickStar update they will add this feature.

Good lock from Samsung available for your phone? The extension apps are pretty good and the options are similar to many settings we lost after android 12

Live notifications correct but regular Samsung notifications myself about twelve in three hours but notistar which enable me to forty notifications in the same time frame. Obviously I'm on s23+ @ current UI 8 s24 s25 assuming not able?

Unfortunately, you can't! This was a Google mandate. Maybe Samsung will come up with a Good Lock app to customize this.
