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 loved it [in general] but never got used to the form factor. It was my first flip. Spent most of the time opening it. I was coming from a S21 Ultra. Wasn't using the outer screen much.

It's gone with oneui 6.1. I just wrote a post to complain. You can use the single Android bar, but thst sucks compared to the 3 bars Samsung had.

OMH WHY have you removed this option? I bought s23 ultra only because it had this opportunity. I hate Pixel phones coz of this irritating line. It eats your space from bottom! Why Samsung became as iphone? I don't want to be a slave without settings and have no flexibility.

 

Return this checkbox to remove this white line!!! It seems i should go back to Xiaomi.

And for inadequate people who will gonna offer me to change navigation from gestures: are you silly to suggest this?

Download Goodlock from the Samsung Store.
Open Goodlock, look for the NavStar module.

Open Navstar toggle on, scroll to enable extra gesture settings.

Go to settings, display, navigation, more options, turn off gesture hint!

Done

I cannot find the option to hide the navigation hint. It was an option in the past to hide it. 

I don't need that bar on the bottom wasting space on my screen

Google mandated the removal on all phones with circle to search. You can re-enable it with the following steps:

Galaxy store>install goodlock>open goodlock>install navstar module>open navstar> tap "enable extra gesture settings" which will restore the old navigation gestures in the settings menu. Once you've done this, settings>display>navigation bar>swipe gestures>more options

Goodlock is an official first party samsung customization app, so you aren't using some unknown 3rd party. It's a lot of steps, but Google has completely removed alternate gesture options from Android and Samsung is the only oem that offers an alternative even if it has a bunch of steps.

I've had the s24 ultra for a little while now and I miss certain features that I had on my 22 ultra. The first thing is the home, back, and screen toggle buttons. I used to use the one that had all three options but it was just lines at the bottom. Now it's just one line and two swipes on either side of the screen. 

The reason that this is a big problem is whenever I'm cropping a photo it undoes what I'm doing because it thinks I'm trying to go back. I don't like the clunkiness of having the physical buttons on my phone and I missed a little bars that I had. 

Also,

The object eraser is now horrendous it doesn't circle anything as finely as the s22 used to. I don't know if this is something I need to figure out a new method for or if it's just not as good as it used to be.
