FP3+: Issues with Android 13 update

After some weeks using my FP3 with Android 13, I have encountered a couple of issues:

The top search bar of the applications grid doesn’t work (default launcher: Quickstep). If I tap on it, it hides the app grid and returns to the home screen. Didn’t find a solution, but not a big problem for me. Maybe this is related to the fact that I have Google app deactivated?

On the other hand, and this is more annoying to me, the notification of activated alarms has changed. The “alarm on” icon is no longer displayed either on the lock screen or in the status bar (except when the status bar is “pulled down”). You can see it in this gif:

I don’t know if this is a new behaviour afterAndroid 11, or if it’s an issue with the Fairphone implementation, but I actually find it a bit of a problem. It seems that this also happens to the FP4 with Android 12.
