You need to add this code in your AppDelegate file, not in your Root View Controller

Or add the property Status bar is initially hidden in your plist file

Folks, in iOS 7+

please add this to your info.plist file, It will make the difference :)

For iOS 11.4+ and Xcode 9.4 +

Use this code either in one or all your view controllers

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool { return true }

In iOS 7 status bar appearance depends on UIViewController as default  To hide status bar globally  in info plist use NO value for UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance key and use UIApplication s setStatusBarHidden method with YES BOOL value

A complete solution in swift  in your view controller     you can use your own logic to determine if you need to hide status bar    I just put a var here for now var hideStatusBar   false override func preferStatusBarHidden   - gt  Bool       return hideStatus        in other method to manually toggle status bar func updateUI         hideStatusBar   true        call this method to update status bar     prefersStatusBarHidden
