iOS 27 breadcrumbs conflict with new status bar notification.

With iOS27 now introducing a bar under the clock in the status bar to indicate for notifications, this directly clashes with the already visually appealing and outdated breadcrumbs feature. On modern iPhones the option to go back to the previous app by swiping on the home bar is a much more intuitive experience than reaching out to click a button on the top left that displaces the clock. I’ve attached a screenshot to show you the issue where it intersects with the new line. Please let users disable breadcrumbs or take it out altogether - it’s long overdue for a company that prides itself on attention to detail and design.
