Realme: Show or Hide Notification Icons in the Status Bar

When app icons pile up in the status bar of your Realme phone, it gets hard to tell which app actually needs your attention. If you would rather see a simple number of unread notifications, or nothing at all, the notification display mode in Realme UI is set to the wrong option. Switching between icon, count, and hidden mode fixes both problems.

Show or Hide Notification Icons in the Status Bar auf Realme

The status bar on a Realme phone can display new notifications in three ways: as individual app icons, as a single notification count, or not at all. Which mode is active decides how crowded the bar looks and how much information you get at a glance.

Icons are useful when you need to identify which app sent the notification without opening the notification panel. The notification count is better if you just want to know how many unread items are waiting, without the visual clutter of several icons. The Do not show option keeps the status bar clean, but you then rely entirely on the notification panel or lock screen to check for new activity.

To change the setting, open SettingsNotifications & status barNotification icons. There you choose between Icon, Notification count, or Do not show.

This setting affects the entire status bar display, not individual apps. If you only want to silence specific apps instead of changing how all notifications appear, adjust the notification permissions for that app instead.

Frequently asked questions

No. The option under Notification icons applies to the whole status bar. To mute or limit notifications from a single app, go to that app's notification settings instead.
