P20 lite status bar missing

[Android Central Question]

Hi

It was there showing my battery life, signal strength, WiFi etc but has disappeared. How do I get it back?

Welcome to Android Central! It doesn't come back after a reboot?

Tried a restart a few times and still status bar is not showing

Is the notch also hidden? https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/27/17168078/huawei-p20-notch-turn-off-hide-status-bar

Try also wiping the cache partition: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/huawei/huawei-p20-lite/recovery-mode/

Makes no difference if the notch is on or off. I've just cleared the cache and still no status bar

Let me move this to the P20 forum, in case this is some specific oddity for the phone line or Huawei phones in general. Maybe another P20 user is familiar with the issue.
