How to Customize Navigation Bar on Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus/Ultra

The Galaxy S22 goes far beyond wallpaper, Edge Panels, and screen timeout when it comes to customization. One of these features is the ability to change and customize the navigation bar and gestures on the smartphone. The Navigation bar is the bottom-of-the-screen menu that serves as the foundation for navigating your device. You can change the layout and order of the buttons, or even remove them entirely and navigate your device using gestures instead. The steps below will show you how.

Why Navigation bar keep disappearing on my Galaxy S22?

When using certain third-party apps, the Navigation bar may disappear even if it is enabled. At some point during a video game or movie, you could run into this. You can swipe up anywhere on the screen to temporarily reveal the menu bar.
