Answer 2

No you can't hide text of status bar. you can hide status bar with animation something like,

  CGRect appFrame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.7 animations:^{

     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
 //   self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame = self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds;
    self.view.window.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, appFrame.size.width, appFrame.size.height);
}];

It is in obj c and just for understand concepts, convert in swift!

You can add new view instead of status bar as custom status bar look

Hope this will help :)
