On my Samsung A55 I have a very annoying problem. The navigation bar no longer fades away when I open an app. It makes it nearly impossible to click on any of the app buttons that are below the navigation bar.

 

Are you aware of this issue and are you trying to fix it?

 

Regards

Annoyed user

What buttons are below the navigation bar? If you download Good Lock's NavStar module, you can add a button to the nav bar to hide it when it does not hide automatically.

If an app is displaying buttons below the navigation buttons, the app is defective and needs their developers to fix it.

@LongHiker in most cases, yes - but one of the UI or security updates did something to the navigation bar recession/transparency.  It's happening with some apps for me, but not all of them. I have been working around or ignoring it.  The best way to to work around it is the show/hide button activation in NavStar, and put in an error report and have the Samsung developers look into the issue.

I have also had this problem and would like to know of a resolution without having to download a 3rd party app.

Downloading Good Lock and any of its modules is not  a third party app, Good Lock is Samsung's official customization suite.  The best and easiest solution right now, is to download NavStar and turn on on the show/hide button, so that you can either keep the nave bar up all the time and hide it when you need to, or keep it hidden all the time, and still swipe it up when you need to use it.  If those affected will put in error reports, the issue will be addressed.  https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692
