    Navigation bar disappeared after upgrading to Orea (S8+)

    Re: Navigation bar disappeared after upgrade to Oreo 8 Do you happen to use Airwatch for work? It looks like the AirWatch Samsung ELM Service is what is causing this issue. Reading through the Play Store reviews shows quite a few unhappy S8/S9 owners! Try uninstalling/deactivating that...

    Navigation bar disappeared after upgrading to Orea (S8+)
