Nav Bar & the STUPID LINE wasting bottom of the screen

[AdzaRD]

Who was the ***** that mucked around with the swipe commands??   Also forcing us to have that USELESS bar at the bottom taking up precious screen space.   sack that whole team forever. the amount of functionality I have lost is insane!  trying to access the recent tasks menu in swipe is liking trying to play operation drunk.

FIX THIS SOON, im gonna have to return the dam phone at this rate.

Is that the S23? I have no icons at the bottom of my S24

I don't understand your question.  

First, my phone is a S24 Ultra (using the Microsoft Launcher). 

Could you rephrase your comment / question?

EDIT - The bottom row of icons on your Home page(s) is/are your, what many label, your Dock - the icons that appear at the bottom of all your Home pages. With the Microsoft Launcher I have the option of having up to 12 icons left to right, to include a drop down window of an additional two rows. Is that what you're referring to?

The three icons you're referring to, are those the three icons representing the Back / Home page / Opened apps, that are at the core of the original post?

Yes. The back, home page, and opened. Original post. You can still get rid of them and use swipe options. We're not forced to use them.

Perhaps you could provide the step by step procedure to have the S24 have its previous three Back / Home / Recents functions with their associated gestures, the gestures from the bottom of the screen, that we were accoustomed to.

Settings/Display/Navigation Bar

[malk20426]

No navigation buttons. Swipe only.

And to access the recent task apps, all you do in gestures is swipe up and hold, and all your recent apps are displayed. I don't see the problem.

No navigation buttons. Only swipe.
