Is it just me, or is my status bar losing icons?
Since iOS17 I think, the orientation locked item has mostly disappeared from my status bar after being present for years, this is on both my old SE 2020 and my new 16 Pro. I think it appeared off and on in 17, but I haven't seen it for a while despite my orientation being locked.
I was also going through the list of fixed accessibility bugs and noticed that dynamic islands appear to actually display stuff in certain circumstances, but all mine says is empty. When I'm playing music or have a timer running and swipe through the status bar, I can only swipe as far as the time. When swiping left to right, I see "Dynamic island, empty", the time, the cellular signal strength, the network status either WiFi strength or 5G, and the battery status. The carrier name is displayed when the phone is locked, but not when it is unlocked. On my old phone I would also see that my Bluetooth headphones were connected and their power level, but not here. If swiping left from battery status, I can only go as far as the time before I can't go any further. What's going on here?

Control Center
Hello,
If you'd like all of your status bar icons back, just open the Control Center.
Can these be added to status bar?
Can some of those be added back to the status bar, or is control center the only place to see them now?
