Remove Kaspersky Green Shield on Android Home Page (Samsung S24)

[garioch7]

Hi, my name is Phil.  I just signed up for Premium today.  I have installed it on both of my Android phones, but I can not find a way to remove the small K shield from the top left of my Android 14 phone.

I was a longtime Bitdefender user and I was very active on their Forums, but I did not see eye-to-eye with a senior member there, so I decided it was time for a change in Forums and my cyber security product.

I searched this Forum and also asked "Mr. Google," but I couldn't find a way to do it.  Is it possible?

Thank you, and have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

Hello @garioch7, Phil, 

Welcome!

1. Yes. 

Settings, Apps, select Kaspersky, select Notifications, toggle OFF, this blocks notifications from Kaspersky & is not recommended:                                                                                                                                   

Settings, Notifications, Advanced settings -> Show app icon in notifications 

We changed All notifications to Number of notifications only; other options are shown in the One UI 3.1 image below, they're self-explanatory:                                                                                                  

1. It's a Samsung issue (not Kaspersky), information available from Samsung or websites like androidcentral. 
2. The *advantage* of showing the Kaspersky icon in the Status bar - IF there's an issue the icon will change colour - Yellow or Red; removing the icon will hide the opportunity to see this easily. 

Any issues or concerns please post back? 
Thank you🙏

@Flood and Flood's wife,

Thank you for your prompt response.  I will leave the shield there, based on your advice.

Looking forward to learning more about my new Kaspersky product in these Forums.

Have a great day.

Phil
