S11 Ultra. Swipe down to enter Dex. How to disable?

XRayAdams · Friday

New feature on UI8 on new S11 Ultra, when you swipe down from middle to enter Dex mode is killing me I do not need Dex to be enabled automatically! When I need it, I will enable.
Is it possible to disable this new "brilliant" festure?

I am talking about this small line in a middle of the screen on top.

Hmm that does look like a potential annoyance. It's definitely a new feature of the new series, so unfortunately I can't advise as to how it works or can be disabled. I'd suggest doing a search in the settings for DeX and look for any options that may relate.

Just an update on this feature, it's not adjustable but it's a design that has it's uses. It's basically a quick way of switching an app in and out of DeX mode which actually is very handy to have. One example of it's usefulness is an app that opens in the wrong orientation under normal Android, but you flip it in DeX mode and you can use it whichever way you want on the fly, very nifty. It also doesn't intrude long so it's not as disruptive as I first thought.

You can allways drag from top left corner to make app floating. I don't need Dex to be enabled for that.

Anyway, I found a way to completely remove that shortcut in settings

Great, personally haven't had any issues with it being there so far.

I'm actually liking what they've done with DeX now as it isn't really a matter of enabling/disabling it anymore. It's pretty much seemlessly integrated into Android so all you really have is whether you want to use a setup with it or not and to switch in and out is as simple as dragging a window to the top of the screen.
