Time always in notification bar

[Android Central Question]

Yesterday I did the system update for my galaxy so. Afterward there is ALWAYS a time displayed in my notification bar. You cant clear it like a normal notification. It actually bumps any app notifications over to the right.

Has anyone found a way to turn this off? Please help. I'll post a screen capture if I can find a way to load pics

Welcome to Android Central! That's a change due to Pie. It's not a notification -- it's just where the status bar clock is now. They had to do this to accommodate notches (otherwise the right side of the status bar would tend to be always more overloaded than the left). I'm not sure if this still works on Pie, but it's worth a try: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/remove-any-status-bar-icon-your-galaxy-s8-s9-note-8-0185324/
