Assistant menu floating button keeps appearing-single tap to answer

[aliakio]

Im writing a new topic because i haven't found any help. The "single tap to answer" option has moved inside assistant menu in one ui. This is a weird option in my opinion. It has to be in phone settings>call answer options. Anyway if u want it like i do enabled, u have to enable assistant menu so u have to have that annoying floating button in your screen all the time. If u tap and hold the button, u hide it temporarily since it shows up again if u have set the dark mode to start at sunrise like me. It shows up again and u have to hide it again. I do it twice every 24 hours whenever my theme goes dark or regular according to sunset sunrise schedule. 

Also mention that after February update i cant get rid the otherwise minimized notification from notification panel. 

Please Samsung remove the setting from assistant menu or find a certain way to hide floating button.

SAMSUNG-  YOU NEED - to UNDO this blunder IMMEDIATELY  You've.made a simple task of answering or rejecting a call aggravating! 

If I want to simply tap to answer a call - I have to put up with this perpetual floating app that keeps getting in my way. I don't need this nor do I appreciate it.

Dearest Samsung Developers,

  I spent 25 years of my life gleefully selling your electronics to the public masses. I've been a dedicated fan of most of your products (in the high end electronics category).

  This recent change moving the One Tap Answer into this new Assistant Menu and making it so the one tap answer cannot be used unless I have an infuriatingly annoying floating app on my screen is maybe the most ludicrous thing I've seen Samsung developers do... in any product.

Please return the One Tap Answer to its previous location.

Thank you.

The previous location being directly under Settings-->Accessibility-->Interaction and dexterity... a resounding hear, hear! Furthermore, allow us to use this feature without that blasted Assistant hovering around all the time... or, once "hidden" only to have it reappear again on screen unlock. Wow!

I found a solution to hide the annoying floating icon by searching the answer @ androidcentral.

After turning on the Assist mode and Single tap mode, go back to Settings and Apps > tap 3 dots > tap Show system apps > tap Accessibilty > scroll down to Advanced and tap Appear on top > Turn off Allow permission > finally tap Force stop.

This solution worked for my Galaxy Note 8. 

The floating icon does not reappear after sleep mode. The floating icon, howver, does reappear after Restart the phone. After Restart, simply go back to Accessibility app settings and tap Force stop.

This is the only solution so far I found.

I think I have found a solution to the floating assistant menu. Once you see the menu on your home screen, do a hard long press on it. It will turn into a red circle and disappear into the notification bar. It will reappear however once you restart or power off your phone and then turn on later just repeat the steps above.

Thank you very much! After the last security "update", your solution is the only way to hide the HATED assistant menu notification, and have single tap to answer on my Note 8! Samsung, why you hate us? What is wrong with you? why I'm forced to seek nonstandart solution, to make this device my phone? Maybe you are not diffrent from apple/microsoft or other companies that ignore our convenience? Should I install next security update, when I know, that you do not want ME to be happy with MY Note?
