Anyway to remove the forced navigation bar? (programming.dev)

Hey all, I have a Samsung S22 and got an update this morning which has forced on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Disabling the new circle to search didn't make a difference.

I heard it can be disabled through GoodLock but I'm not installing that. Maybe it can be disabled via adb or something?

Cheers

Go to your display settings and to navigation bar. You can change to gestures instead of buttons.

I'm already using gestures. With a recent update they've forced the little navigation bar pill/line with no option to hide it.

Yeah good lock will let you disable it. I forgot I used that to hide the nav hint.

No, you can only remove it with Goodlock now.

Damn :(

Btw, you can keep circle to search on and use GoodLock to remove the nav bar. You just press and hold in the middle where the nav bar would be to activate circle to search
