Huawei: Show or Hide Carrier Name in the Status Bar

If the carrier name keeps showing up next to the notch on your Huawei phone, the status bar can look crowded fast. On Dual SIM devices both operator names stack on top of each other, making the display area feel even tighter. This setting controls whether that label appears at all.

Show or Hide Carrier Name in Status Bar auf Huawei

The carrier name next to the notch comes from a display option inside EMUI, not from your SIM card itself. It only controls visibility, so hiding it does not affect network connection or signal strength.

On Dual SIM phones, EMUI stacks both operator names in the same corner. That can make the status bar look cramped, especially on phones with a small notch or punch-hole camera.

Where to find the setting

Go to Open the SettingsTap on Display & brightnessTap on More display settingsEnable or disable Display carrier name. Turning the toggle off removes the label immediately, no restart needed.

Turn it back on if you switch SIM cards often and want a quick visual check of which operator is active. If your status bar still feels cluttered after hiding the carrier name, check for other status bar toggles like network speed or battery percentage in the same display settings screen.

Frequently asked questions

No. The Display carrier name toggle only changes what shows in the status bar. Signal strength and data connection stay the same.
