Does the gov.uk site update when you’re approved?

I applied for British citizenship on 18 February 2026 and completed my biometrics on 20 March 2026. I still haven’t heard anything.

When I applied for settled status, I hadn’t heard anything either, but I checked my immigration status on the GOV.UK website (where you can generate a share code), and it already showed Settled Status. The formal notification came afterwards.

I’m wondering if the same thing happens with citizenship. I checked today, and it still shows Settled Status. Does anyone know whether that changes once your citizenship application has been approved, or does it stay the same until after the citizenship ceremony?
