Constant notifications on Android phones during the day tend to fill up the status bar at the top of the screen. The app icons continue to appear at the top left whenever you receive alerts for new messages, emails, social media likes, Play Store updates, call recordings, screenshots, and whatnot. In case you get a lot of notifications, you might end up with a cramped status bar that can be distracting and visually unappealing too.

Perhaps, if you use a Samsung smartphone then you can easily hide the notification icons and enjoy a clean status bar. While you can’t hide the status bar, it is possible to hide status bar icons on Samsung Galaxy phones running One UI. And this can be done without using third-party apps or enabling Do Not Disturb (DND) mode. Samsung’s One UI 2.0 (based on Android 10) and One UI 3.1 (based on Android 11) feature a built-in option to get rid of notification icons in the status bar.

    How do I get rid of the icons on the top *right* of the screen? Eg. I don’t want “alarm” or the other one that looks like the battery but is not.
