Hide notification icon
I love how customizable the notification settings are... but can you add the ability to hide the icon from the notification bar, while still listing the player when I swipe down? The player is always there, so no need to show an icon all the time. I have a samsung s21 with android 11. I don't think my previous phone did this. So to be clear, when I'm looking at my home screen, I don't want to see the podcast addict icon in the top left corner... but when I swipe down, I want the player to be there. I know how to turn off both, but not how to turn off the icon. Hopefully Android supports this. Thanks!

It’s not possible to run a player without a notification (Android restriction. However you can hide the notification by going into the device Settings/Notifications screen if you want to)

It is possible.
I have been running BeyondPod 3.3.68 since over a decade (currently on Android 11, but the same applies to Android 13) and the icon in status bar is never present.
Please, add the function to remove this pointless and annoying icon.
