I've just upgraded to a Samsung S8, and the status bar at the top keeps disappearing! How do I get it to always be displayed when I'm on the home screen?
Where's my status bar on the S8?
Question
Answer
Well, this is embarrassing. When I first got my phone, google restored my previous desktop wallpaper, which is white at the top (it's a cloudy day photo).
On the S8, the status bar has no background, so I had white icons on the white wallpaper. This seems a little silly to me!
