Is there any possible way to make the clock icon appear in the status bar in the upper right hand corner at all times when an alarm is set? That feature seems to be removed which was a snowball IQ decision by Samsung. Now it doesn't show at all unless you swipe down to see the status menu or go into the clock app itself.

An alarm is pretty important, almost important as the time itself. If there is an alarm set it should always show that there is one.

Any possible way to make the clock icon appear 24/7 when an alarm is set in the status bar? Samsung A16

There is currently no way to make the alarm visible full time. It went away with one ui 7 I believe.

Hi RedWinger5,

We understand your concern regarding the missing alarm clock icon in the status bar. In recent One UI versions, including on your Galaxy A16, the design has shifted to show the alarm icon only in the Quick Settings panel and not persistently in the top-right status bar.

At this time, there is no built-in setting to make the alarm icon appear at all times. This change was made to simplify the status bar and reduce clutter on devices with limited space due to notches or punch-hole cameras.

We truly value your feedback, we also recommend submitting your suggestion directly through the Samsung Members app so it can be reviewed by our software development team: Samsung Members > Support > Suggestions.

Your input helps shape future updates, and we appreciate your taking the time to share it with us.

Thank you.

I would really appreciate a visible icon on the status bar for when the alarm clock is set. I wish I knew before I purchased this S25. I would have looked for something else.
