Navigation bar covers content since latest One UI 7 update

Ever since the last update the navigation bar covers content. Apps with bottom page navigation can't be used.

Games that have ads that generate revenue for developers can't be closed to rewards aren't given in games . Ie the {X} buttons are always covered.

Browsers with the url bar at the bottom end up covered.

Clearing the phones cache solutions don't work and we shouldn't have to install third party software to fix it.

@Paulh439 Reach out to the developers of those apps/games to see if they have a solution. Sounds like they need to make updates to be compatible.

It's not just games though, it's browsers and any apps with buttons along the bottom.

Hilariously, Google Maps is one if the Apps affected (for reviews), so I think this is a bigger issue than app-specific.

@dBogger Not seeing that on my phone. Not seeing any content covered with the navigation bar. Based on your post, I specifically checked the review area of Google Maps and not seeing any issue. 

Did you wipe the device cache partition after the update? I recommend that you do this after every device update. It wipes out incompatible or outdated cache information which might be incompatible after the update. It does not erase any user data nor applications.

To wipe the device cache partition:

1. Power off your device.
2. Power up while holding down the Volume up key and the Side key until the Samsung logo appears. 
3. An Android recovery menu will appear.
4. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Wipe cache partition.
5. Click the side key to select it.
6. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Yes. 
7. Click the side key to select it. The Cache will be wiped almost instantaneously. 
8. Click the side key to select "Reboot system now"

lots of apps have the problem, including some tier 1 banking apps. that cache wipe is pretty extreme and shouldn't be required. samsung should patch this asap.

The device cache wipe is easy and non destructive. It is recommended after every firmware update.
