How to remove the silent mode icon on iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26?

I just moved from iPhone XS to iPhone 17 Pro. Everything is working great. One thing that I noticed here cause I’m always on silent mode (so I turn that on everyday), but why the bell with slash icon always on the next to my clock?


I know this is to inform me that silent mode is on, but can I get rid of that? Or is this an iOS26 thing? Because I have never seen such thing on my iPhone XS (which runs max on iOS 18).


Thank you :)
