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 returned my S24 because the bottom swipe gestures were gone and the existing side and bottom gestures were not working. I used my S21 ultra to try and figure this out. It seems the Good Lock one handed operation was messing up the side gestures. For those having this trouble, try disabling the one handed operation in Good Lock. I still want the bottom gestures back.

The old settings can be restored via the goodlock app, which is a first party samsung developed customization app. Download it in the galaxy store, the install the navstar module. You will see an option to "enable extra gesture settings", select this. Your old navigation options will now return under settings>display>navigation bar>more options

I didn't see it. But also, the phone went back today. I'll be reordering under the same deal as soon as they receive the phone

Your absolutely right, but you can't hide the gestures like previous models

No, I didn't really. Samsung couldn't get the gestures to work and they said the screen was very sluggish. They actually recommended I send it back then order a new one

Also, when your old phone updates to one ui 6.1 you will have the same issue.

True. I turned off the one handed mode and trying to get used to the standard gesture in case good luck doesn't come through
