Samsung One UI 4.1: Navigation bar, a hidden feature!

Samsung’s navigation bars are amazing as always, in the previous user interface they were all-time visible on the screen, but now have the facility to be hidden at the bottom of the smartphone screen and pop up only when needed.

I think this is a kind of space-saving, which Samsung One UI 4.1 has applied meaningfully, showing all the creativity, with the available option and their combination.

These are categorized as soft buttons, that appear in front of you when you turn on the smartphone screen. These soft buttons consist of a Recent button, a Home button, and a Back button by default. So, let us discuss them one by one,

First soft button: Popularly known as Recents, this soft button is shown by three vertical lines on your phone’s home screen. This takes you to the recently opened application, on which you are previously or currently working. You can tap to open the list.

Second button: The distorted and empty square tile represents the home, it lets the user return to the home screen. By pressing it you are redirected to the UI home, does not matter, where and on which app you are working.

Third button: This is represented by the leftward arrow icon and in itself indicates the smartphone user to return to the previous screen or operation. We are fully eligible to change the way they look. Let us see how to do this?

Instead of using the traditional navigation bar in One UI 4.1, you can use the swipe gestures. these hide the navigation bar very smartly. When you jump to the option you have two choices, have a look.

This is very helpful while viewing files, and I like it because it facilitates me with a wider screen view. To make changes, follow these steps:

• Launch the Settings app
• Tap on Display
• Move to the Navigation bar
• Then tap on Swipe gestures, under navigation type
• Two gesture hints will appear in front of you
• ‘Swipe from bottom‘, and ‘Swipe from sides and bottom‘.

You can choose any one of them. One more additional feature which I found to be quite interesting is that if you want to hide the gesture hints, you can tap on ‘Gesture hint’ and click to deactivate it.
