Hello, anyone know how to remove the charging/lightning icon on the upper left hand corner of Galaxy S21 Ultra? It wasn't there before but now whenever I'm charging there is a lightning icon on the left corner of the status bar. Anyone know how to remove it? TIA!

Hello deelan11,

Thanks for reaching out to us here in order to find out how to remove the charging/lightning icon on the upper left hand corner of your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Before you try out the recommendations below, be sure to check if your device's software and related apps are updated to the latest version. To update your mobile device's software, follow these steps:

Step 1. Go to Settings > Software update.

Step 2. Tap on Download and install.

Step 3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 4. Restart your device.

Samsung has an option enabled by default that shows charging information on the display. This option is completely separate from the Always on Display settings. If you disable the AOD, the charging information will still be displayed.

Customize the Always on Display

Step 1.  Swipe down once from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon to open the Settings.

Step 2. Now go to the “Display” settings. Note that the Always on Display settings—where you might expect to find this option—are under “Lock Screen.”

Step 3. Scroll all the way down to “Show Charging Information” and toggle the switch off.

Hey there deelan11,

May I please have a screenshot of the icon?

Also, did you install any third-party apps that may be managing your battery?

Here is the screenshot.

And no, I did not install any third party apps that may have affected it

Thanks for helping!
