Home and back button need to stay on

[userlXH0v8HlGX]

I'd really love to know if there's a way to make the home and more specifically the BACK button to stay on all the time. I cannot stand having to drag up twice to get back to my text messages when I'm in one already. The back button is my go to argument against iPhones..... please please help

Thanks... This really irritated me on my Note 9. Now I really love my phone.

This was incredibly helpful. I was constantly turning off the buttons on the bottom before I read this. I don't know how I missed this!

I don't know if anyone else has had this NOT work for them, but I like my navigation bar to always be visible and had it set as such. Today it started hiding itself on my homescreen. I've tried rebooting and double checking all of the setting to make sure nothing got changed there. I've tried changing the toggle on the show/hide option to on and then back off again. I've double checked the little dot by double tapping it to keep it on as well. It is ONLY on my home screen that the navigation bar disappears now. 

Anyone else had this issue and/or a way to correct it???

You can customize the navigation bar settings in your display settings to ensure the menu stays on the screen for convince.

However, we recommend testing this in safe mode to ensure the feature is working properly with the standard Samsung applications. 

Once you have confirmed that the feature has no issue in safe mode, We would recommend testing your third party applications to ensure the same.

If you continue to experience the issue when the device is out of safe mode, We recommend reaching out to the application developers in which the navigation bar is not showing all the time.

Hope this finds you well, and let us know how this works for you!
