extra hidden button

[Richard Servello]

Anyone notice the extra button on the nav bar? It's just right of the square. So far the only app I've seen it do anything in is Facebook. Is there a way to disable it? I always get this hidden menu when I reach across the screen one handed.

It's probably this.

Yup that's it. Chrome seems to being up settings.

I've seen an actual icon next to the square while texting that looks like a keyboard, and pressing that gives me the option to choose a keyboard. But I've never tried the "hidden" button. I'm off to try it now!

I found it! Now I'll be on a quest to find out which apps use this!

I wonder if the keyboard selector I have is native to Android Messages, or if it's a system menu item. Or if it's because I have a 3rd party keyboard installed, SwiftKey...

No extra icon in messages with stock keyboard. But the hidden button opens the hamburger button in the top right.

So now I wonder if SwiftKey enables this, which would be very magnanimous, or if the system enables this whenever a 3rd party keyboard is installed... Interesting.

I have the Gboard keyboard but I get the keyboard button if I want to open my Bitmoji keyboard. I think you will get that option with any other type of keyboard added.
