Good to know

  1. The search box ends up reading “status barhide status bar icons” — the handwriting input adds the second phrase without a space. Typing “status bar” alone gives the same results.
  2. “Hide silent notifications in status bar” is switched on in this recording, as is “Notification dot on app icon”. Neither switch is tapped — the video only shows them.
  3. No result is opened in this recording — the check ends on the search results page. Tap “Hide silent notifications in status bar” to change it.
