They heard you, Samsung has brought back the ability to hide your Navigation Bar and Swipe Gestures.

 
You will have to download Goodlock and specially NavStar once installed toggled on NavStar, Enable extra gesture settings.
 
Go to settings. Display, navigation, show more, have fun again. 
 
Ps. If you already have both apps and you are not seeing those options, Open Goodlick again scroll to NavStar, tap on the more, go to store, there will be an update waiting. For some reason it isn't showing up in updates

I could live with the new navigation, but I keep accidentally swiping "back" from all edges of the screen. Even when swiping away notifications from the pull down. Then I reflexively swipe the opposite direction from the opposite side and go back instead of forward.

I gave it a few weeks and then came crawling back for solutions. Looks like this navstar thing works pretty well!

The latest version of Navstar 6-1-05-40 has broken this new feature by removing 'Enable extra gesture settings.' I had to download the apk of the previous version to fix it.

No it hasn't, at least on my version of 6.1.05.40.

When you toggle on buttons, more options.
This is what you get in NavStar1709943942962.jpg

It's just ridiculous to install an extra app for just a simple thing like this, why removing something that is working perfectly fine? Though the NavStar does bring back that old swipe gesture BUT, the problem is that now I don't know how to use that AI feature Circle to Search anymore cause ever since I switch it back to that old swipe gesture, holding onto the Home button only bring up Google Assistant, not that Circle to Search, so what's the point of buying a phone with AI feature and then can't use it just because a simple swipe gesture setting???
