Navigation Bar Covers Content

requa — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 12:04:41 GMT

In the tool for checking for updates to the Google Play system, the phone navigation bar is converting the bottom edge of the screen including most of the operations button at the bottom. Is there a way to force this to display properly? I'm using an S22 with One UI 8 and Nova Launcher Prime (but also seeing this outside of Nova).

Thanks

The only fix I know is the install the goodlock module navstar so that you can toggle the "show and hide button" setting for the navigation bar. I usually just get my finger really close to the top of the buttons that get hidden, to click them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I've been doing the same as you by trying to tap the to edge of the button when needed. It's more of a minor annoyance and aesthetic issue than anything. I don't recall seeing this before One UI 8 but I could have just overlooked it.

I'm with you. It is a new issue with this update. It's always funny to me that I have to do these little work arounds to use such an expensive product. One other option might be to open the app in "pop-up" mode so that it moves it entirely away from the nav bar. I use pop-up a lot since I use a flip 7. Best of luck to you!

@requa Feel free to report this to Samsung. When I did, I was told that this page is provided by Google Play Store and they said that it has been reported to Google.

This issue appears to be fixed now despite still being on the October patch for Google Play system.
