Navigation bar always ends up overlapping apps. Any way to prevent this?

Trollivier@sh.itjust.works to Android@lemmy.world – 58 points –

So, I'm using a Pixel 4A, and almost daily, I end up having to reboot because the navigation bar overlaps the bottom of my apps or games, and rebooting is the only way I find to fix this.

Is there another way? Did anyone know? It's getting very frustrating. Sometimes I can't do very basic things because of this.

Sometimes just a simple phone restart can do a lot. You could also try changing the navigation mode to gestures and then back to buttons which should force update the navigation bar position.

At this point I just switched to gestures permanently. Took me a few hours to get accustomed to it.

Yeah, but that is not an op's desired solution. I think he/she is aware of the navigation gestures option.
