Recent app button disappeared

[Whisperscat]

Hi, my recent app button has gone and I would really like it back. I miss it. Don't know if it's anything I did, or how long it's been gone. I'm on an S9. Please help. Thanks

Does factory reset solves the issue?

[drnareshgabani]

I am skeptical about using phone from Chinese manufacturers, may it be oneplus, Xoami, oppo, Huawei or Vivo. Functionally their phones are quite fast and UI is light, but data safety is questionable.

thanks for this quick and easy resolution!

There is no permanent fix available yet?? I WONDER HOW CAN SAMSUNG STAY COMPLETELY SILENT ABOUT THIS!

[DonCorleone]

This is not permanent/ and you have to almost do it everytime... it is really annoying

[DonCorleone]

Yes but you can't do it constantly/ there is no permanent fix???

Data safety.  If you use any of the social stuff like twit or facebook, then they have already got all they want from you, lol

My note 9 started doing this recently too. Reboot brings is back but not for long. Also cannot pull down from the top for the notification bar.

Yup it worked for me. Opened secure folder the pressed home button and missing nav button is back. Also I can pull Dow fro the top of the screen for the notifications as well.

Pressing the home button while in secure folder restores my missing navigation button
