How can we get rid of the "hole punch" (in the screen of a Galaxy Note 10+)?

Hello

Is there any way to remove the "hole punch" on the screen that is caused by the Front Camera (selfie-camera)?
i.e. I want the phone to stop using the top few rows of pixels beside the camera.

This is particularly important when using the whole screen
e.g. to watch videos that use the whole screen?

Background
I am planning to buy a new Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus 5G (UK version).
However not being able to get rid of the hole-punch will be a deal-breaker issue for me.

Hi @ship691 The Hide toggle notch appears to have been removed via the settings Android 11. https://www.slashgear.com/samsung-one-ui-3-0-android-11-removes-option-to-hide-the-camera-cutout-07653831/ However there is a workaround if members use Good Lock which is available from the Galaxy Store. In the Multistar module it is possible to set apps not to overlap with the camera area.

THANKS A LOT!!! I'm happy I can hide that stupid hole punch and pill shaped cutout again. I'm soooo happy now.
