1. An image forming apparatus to which a toner container is detachably attached and which performs image formation for forming a toner image on a recording material, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a photosensitive drum;
a developing container configured to store toner, the developing container provided with a replenishment opening through which the toner is supplied from the toner container to the developing container;
a developing roller configured to supply the toner stored in the developing container to the photosensitive drum;
a detection portion configured to detect an amount of the toner stored in the developing container;
a display portion configured to perform display depending on a detection result of the detection portion, about an amount of the toner in the developing container; and
a control portion configured to control the display portion,
wherein the control portion controls the detection portion to execute a first detection to reflect, on a display of the display portion, a decrease in the amount of the toner in the developing container due to the image formation, and a second detection to reflect, on the display of the display portion, an increase in the amount of the toner in the developing container due to the toner supply,
wherein the display portion,
in a case where the detection result of the first detection is greater than or equal to a first threshold, displays a first display and, in a case where the detection result of the first detection is less than the first threshold, displays a second display different from the first display, and
in a case where the detection result of the second detection is greater than or equal to a second threshold, displays the first display and, in a case where the detection result of the second detection is less than the second threshold, displays the second display, and
wherein the second threshold is smaller than the first threshold.
