One UI 7 update killing accessibility button in nav bar

[Fluffychicken7]

Hello,

Not a fan of this one UI 7 update, very applefied. Would rollback if I could. I digress;

Since Samsung does not let you have a button in the bottom nav bar to pull down your notifications easily I have an app that uses the accessibility button to pull down the notifications. It has worked flawlessly until right after the update. My issue is no matter my efforts my phone keeps removing the accessibility button from my nav bar, I have to restart it every hour and it's no longer convient. I added it to the app to the never put to sleep option under battery. I added it to the never check for cleaning under memory. I even went into my recents screen, tapped on the icon and locked it in my recents. It keeps disappearing. Kindly requesting help. 

I miss my LG.

Hi

I have not found a fix, but I did realise a workaround.

If you have the little accessibility person image set up, create a second option from the list when you click "edit shortcuts" (eg magnifier or live transcribe)

This prevents the little person icon from disappearing when reading mode disappears, now instead of having to go looking for accessibility settings ... All I have to do is "edit shortcuts" and add reading mode back in. 

Good luck and I will keep watching for a fix on these chats 😎

Some good news;

I figured out what is causing the accessibility button in the navigation bar to disappear, it's the "game performance mode". I've had it working for the past 4 days without issues, then today I load up a mobile game and it disappeared shortly after. I don't have the game mode shortcut set to nav bar, it's got a little black pop out. 

When I first updated I remember there being some setup options for the new game mode and I naively sped through the prompts to use my phone. 

I'll play around with settings but didn't see a way to disable this mode unfortunately.
