Hey @corey, you cannot hide the status bar using the Disable status bar option under the Peripheral Settings. However, you can use the Lock task mode to hide and disable the status bar.
To enable Lock task mode, your devices should be enrolled in Android Enterprise as Device Owner.
- Once your devices are enrolled, in the Hexnode UEM console, navigate to the Policies tab and create a new Kiosk Lockdown policy or reconfigure an existing kiosk policy.
- Tap on Kiosk Lockdown > Android Kiosk Lockdown and configure either Single App or Multi App kiosk mode.
- Next, choose Peripheral Settings, and under Advanced Lock category, enable Lock Task mode.
- Ensure that System info under Lock task mode is not checked. This hides and disables the status bar.
- After enabling the Lock task mode and customizing the available settings under Lock task mode, associate the policy to the target devices.
Once the policy is associated with the devices, the UI functionalities get disabled and hidden accordingly in the kiosk mode.
On the other hand, hiding the status bar via Advanced Restrictions without locking down the devices under Kiosk lockdown is supported only in Samsung Knox devices.
We hope this helps, please reach out to us in case of any further queries.
With regards,
