One UI 7 is great, but the new status‑bar “clean‑up” removed essential icons:
Bluetooth
VoLTE / Vo5G
Alarm
For power users, those indicators aren’t decoration; they’re live status you glance at dozens of times a day:
I keep Bluetooth earbuds on all day — I need to see the icon instantly.
I rely on VoLTE/Vo5G to confirm HD‑voice is active.
I set multiple alarms for study/work blocks; without the alarm icon I can’t confirm they’re armed.
Right now the only way is to pull down Quick Settings every time. That adds friction and defeats One UI’s goal of easy, glanceable info.
The fix is simple:
Add a “Show system icons” toggle (like in Good Lock’s QuickStar) so each user decides what matters.
Or, at minimum, restore Bluetooth & Alarm icons by default; they’re universal.
One UI has always been about choice & customization. Removing icons with no option breaks that promise.
Many users on Samsung Members (see up‑vote threads on 17 April & 22 April) are asking the same. “Cleaner look” is fine, but choice is king. Please bring back the icons or give us the toggle in the next hotfix.
Thanks for listening—looking forward to seeing this small change that makes a big everyday difference.

Can you bring those icons this is so much frustrating for users who use Bluetooth alarm volte icons daily always need to pull the quick panel for all those things doesn't make any sense from your side what the hell decision is that who took this decison does it make any sense just to see to see the icons we need to pull the quick panel but I can see and use Bluetooth fully in the quick panel rather than just for looking Bluetooth is active or not that is way better in status bar so your team definitely need to bring that back as many users are requesting for that if YOU WANT cleaner nonsensical no practicality looks you can maintain that but WE NEED atleast an option to enable it if not i never use samsung for making such super nonsensical decisions by copying apple🤨🤨
Exactly Bring Back VOLTE/VO5G,Bluetooth,Alarm Icons Back They are very Essential and Also Bring Back Always on Display Brightness Manual Slider No one Asked to Remove these things then why is Samsung Removing Them in the First Place????
