How to Customise Status Bar on Android?

The Android Status Bar shows time in the top left corner, the network signal towards the top right corner, and your battery icon next to it. However, you can customize and add a few more things to the little strip at the top of your screen.

1. Customize the Status Bar from Phone Settings

Few smartphone brands offer the option to customize the status bar within the phone settings; for example, I’m using a OnePlus phone, as it provides the functionality to customize the Status Bar:

• Open your Phone Settings.
• Go to Display.
• Scroll Down and click on the Status Bar.
• Here, you can make the battery percentage visible or hide it. You can also enable the network speed to appear in the status bar.
• In addition, you can choose between three different battery styles and three different time styles. You can also control which icons should appear in the status bar.
