I accidentally pinned YouTube, and can't get out of the app. Restarting phone doesn't work either. I tried swiping up from the bottom and hold but nothing happens. I wonder because I use Nova Launcher and have the gesture for Google Voice for Home Button? I'm now typing this from my old Note5 phone. Please help. Thanks.

Bummer. I finally did see Safe Mode, tapped it, but it took me back to YouTube. :(

You're awesome, thanks for trying. As mentioned in my original post, I did swipe up, but nothing happens, only got a vibration. In Nova Launcher, did you choose Google Voice or Google Search for your home button gesture? Maybe that is the culprit? I can't even go to setting in Nova Lance. I'm very worried.

I tried both Google voice and search and it unpin

Ok, don't swipe up , try this

Drag your finger up quarter from bottom without releasing and hold until it says unpin

Omg, I finally pressed and hold the volume down button and power button to restart my phone. Back to normal now. Thanks for your effort. That was no fun. Ha.
