(Solved)Notification Icons in Notification Bar Won't go Away

[Barbarian-CBX]

My wife has a Samsung S24. We cleared the notifications by swiping down and tapped Clear. However there are numerous app icons that remain visible in the notification bar at top of screen. We've rebooted, turn notifications on and off, turned off and on Notification History. TIA

Are they on the left or right or the status bar?

Can you show us a screenshot of some of those icons? When you swipe down the notification panel, do any persistent notifications corresponding to those icons show up?

When I swipe down no notifications are shown. It appears notifications are shown on both sides of the notifications bar.

It's a little hard to tell from that image since it's fairly low-res, but it kind of looks like there's a double image where the time is. That usually indicates that the wallpaper is actually a screenshot that included the status bar. See what happens if you change the wallpaper.

Bingo! That was it. My wifey said her home screen was from a screenshot so it picked up everything. We thank you.

You could try editing the screenshot so the icons are no longer there, and then setting the picture again. I think it will still be on a black background? I can't remember....Over the past several years, the stock photos for wallpapers have been good enough for me that I haven't set a custom wallpaper in a while.

@mustang7757, perhaps it is also a good time to lock the thread since there is a solution? Maybe in a couple of days to give OP a chance to reply if they want to?

With solutions I don't mind them open maybe someone finds this thread and wants to say something but either way I'm ok with it or if OP wants it one way or the other.

I crop the image to remove the unwanted items and set it as wallpaper. It's perfect now and wifey is happy. Thanks all!
