Did we ever get to figure out if there’s a way to permanently activate the alarm icon top right of screen next to the battery icon (outside the control center)?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

Not on the newer iPhones. There is not enough room on the status bar area to display all of that. You can only see it from Control Center. You may leave feedback for Apple here, Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Again, we are users here just like you. If you wish to let Apple know you would like to see the change, then use the feedback link I provided in my first post. Also notice that it has to do with space. That is why you don't see the battery percentage there. Only so much space.

Thanks for the response Chris. I disagree with the space thing though, since if you use the control center which is the exact same space, you can see both the battery indication and the clock. It’s almost like no change at all to the screen. It seems to me that it’s a small change for the manufacturer with a great gain for the user since you have the information you want right then and there.

Thank you.

A really helpful feature taken down, but I’m covered. Please rethink in newer versions. Very handy to check alarm just by looking at the screen.

Actually, Control Center is not the same, since that is located about a 1/4 inch below the notch, while the status bar is located on either side of the notch.
