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.

Thanks, I found accessibility app in apps and checked, all permissions were allowed, and battery was unrestricted. Also checked my nav bar notifications app also all permissions allowed (none to allow) and battery unrestricted. I force stopped both and restarted. Went to accessibility settings apps and turned on nav bar notifications. Allowed device control and will see if it goes away. I'll update if it stays all day or not.

Hello Fluffychicken7
I have been having the exact same annoying issue, I believe I have fixed it.

My guess
The UI7 update struggling to work with the old UI accessibility settings. So you need to factory resets accessibility settings so they both on the same page.

STEP'S
Settings >
General management >
Reset >
Reset accessibility settings>
Then re-input your desired settings>

Hope this helps 👍

Hello, I've been too busy to reply here but I've tried this out, reset my accessibility settings, and reinput my settings for my navbar notifications app. It still disappears after sometime, possibly lasts a day. It might be something with the inactivity at night. Anyways still same issue and restarting the phone seems to bring it back. When's the roll back to one UI 6 coming? 🤣🤣

I'm sorry for giving hope 🤣
It has continued disappearing for me too after a little while.
You can allocate the function to the power and volume up button and it does stay there but it's honestly a pain in the ass.🤣

UI 8 Is coming in the next 2 months so we will see 🙈

A26 same issue, too

After adjusting battery usage and permissions, it still doesn't work.

There was a recent update almost a week ago now, the accessibility button stayed on my task bar for a couple days, but then overnight it disappeared again. I notice when my phone goes into the deeper sleep state (aod turns off untill phone is picked up again) that it tends to disappear. I thought also the game settings button might be an issue but I checked and it shouldn't be putting the button in the nav bar. I'm at a bit of a loss, it's great when it stays, but frustrating when I reach for it and it's gone. 

Volume up and power button requires 2 hands to press quickly so even less convenient than dragging from the top of my screen. The nav bar button for me is a one handed convenience feature to quickly access notifications to peak on them or clear them with the clear all button. 

This all worked fine on UI 6.
