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!!!

Use Good Lock's Quick Star and you will likely get back the feature to make more icons visible. I am not sure if it has been updated for OneUI 7.

Good Lock is Samsung's customization app.  It is available in the Galaxy store.  It has various modules you can download to customize various aspects of your phone.  Quick Star customizes the quick panel and status bar.  There are a lot of modules, and you may not need or want them all, but you would download the ones you want.  Each module has a description of what it does.

In your version does it show a menu item "visibility of indicator icons"? If it does, that's the section where you can add the icons back.  I do not have OneUI7 yet, so I don't know if it's been fully updated to work with it.

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

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.

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.
