Do I need to do anything about my Settled Status after becoming British?

I thought that after becoming British they'd lapse my immigration status (settled status) but even after a long time now, the settled status page shows my details.
Do I need to do anything to tell them that I'm British or it doesn't matter that I hold Settled Status too?

You don’t need to do anything- your former immigration status is now irrelevant as a British citizen can’t hold such a status, or even a visa.
And you can’t really do anything with it now, citizenship trumps any immigration restrictions.

Got you, thank you for confirming! I thought of double-checking as I found it strange how BRP cards need to be destroyed, sent back, etc. but I can still have access to this page showing my "immigration status", even if I don't have one. I'm not going to do anything with it of course, just wanted to avoid penalties years down the line
Thanks anyway!
