As an ULTRA fan (I've got S21/S23/S24/S25Ultras) I'm a GoodLock NavStar lover of TRANSPARENT hint bar in GESTURES - I swipe everything, sans buttons, pure gestures on ALL three Ultras, but my new S25Ultra LOSES screen space to my other 3. 
Circle-To-Search works beautifully SANS Gesture Hint UGLY Bar at the bottom of the screen!
 Samsung Devs have left a picture of themselves in NavStar, but I'm desperate to LOSE my gesture hint bar like ALL MY OTHER THREE ULTRAS...🤷🏼‍♂️
PRAYING🙏🏼FOR AN IMMINENT UPGRADE! 🤓

Hello 👋 and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum. 

You're not the first to raise this topic @JustinHouse 

I'm sure the Goodlock App Team are on with updating the app and it's plug ins. 


Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I'm here to help. " This is the way. "

Hi, NavStar currently has a status of "Unplugged " on the new ultras, so hopefully the dev team are currently working on this and will have this working soon.

Hello 👋🏼 my fellow Ultra friend... THANK YOU for your comment & support.
Absolutely, right?!?
I got my S25Ultra on Friday (I run Nova Launcher on ALL 4 Ultras) & it integrates beautifully with OneUI 7. Anyway, I scrolled to "Display" then "Navigation Bar", hit "More Options" under Swipe Gestures & was like... "Where's Gesture Hint" toggle!🤷🏼‍♂️
I appreciate Sammy's plugging Circle To Search, but we ALL KNOW where the bottom of our beloved screens are, with these beautiful skinny bezels & I (personally) can't stand a "Hint Bar" - it's what makes Samsung cool: on my 16ProMax or Pixels etc, you're stuck with perma -ugly, screen steeling hint bars & hint bars DO interfere with MANY apps, insofar as they shorten the bottom of the screen's real estate.

Forgive my rant lol, just passionate GEEKery! 🤭

Don't worry mate! I totally feel your pain, as I'm exactly the same! Currently gritting my teeth and likely to continue doing so until the NavStar support is live! At least that was a good workaround...

It's very sad that Samsung removed the "Gesture hint" option that was there up until OneUI 6.1. Please Samsung, bring this option back. Especially now that Gemini can be lauched via the side button.

Exactly my friend!
You've 💯% nailed it.
Well said.
I'm even "partial" to diagonal bottom corner left & right swipes with Goog Assist & that's defunct now too, while our beloved Transparency toggle option's MIA!
COME ON UNCLE SAMMY, I've got large hands & easily find the perfect place to launch CircleTo Search!🙏🏼🤷🏼‍♂️☝🏼👋🏼🤓
