    I upgraded the android OS on my phone (Samsung S20+) and bloody hell, the home buttons just stay there, for some apps it's ok they are just resized so it all fits, but for others there are buttons that are now overridden by the home buttons and are now useless .... before the home buttons would only appear if i swiped at the bottom.

    I am just new too with Android, always used iOS before this.

    Isn't that not standard? Does it disappear when viewing YouTube on full screen?

    That's what he wants people to call him after he became a godfather. He became a godfather to his nephew and some how now thinks he is in the mafia.
