Google implemented this change a few generations ago, and I really don't like it. I like having my clock on the right and thus only notifications on the left.
All I have to do is quickly glance at my phone to see if there is any symbol, anything, in the top left corner. But because of the clock there, I have to spend that extra fraction of a second figuring out if it is a notification or somethign else.
I know its a trivial feature, but in terms of quality of life, its quite big for me.
Is it possible to do anything like this?
