Silent mode icon missing on iPhone 15 homescreen

When setting the action button to "Silent mode" and have the setting "show in status bar" (in settings > sounds & haptics" I'd expect the silent mode icon would show up on the homescreen. But it does not show up.

Now, I have just figured out it does not who up when I have any focus mode set. Once I deactivate the focus mode, the crossed silent mode icon shows up:

To me this looks like a bug. Or maybe due to limited space between the time and the dynamic island? I think there is enough space to show this icon next to the focus mode icon.

Do you experience the same? Can someone report this to Apple?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

No it doesn't. What you believe "should" be available is irrelevant. This is a technical support forum. We deal in facts, not "wishes".

I couldn't agree more - Silent mode indicator is so small I often forget after meetings to readjust - I am missing calls left and right - APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP

My iPhone 17 does not have "status bar icon" selection in system service AND does not show any icon(s) on the home screen.
