How to turn off "Hide" function

[AC Question]

Somehow I've activated some sort of Hide function on my new Blu phone...The back button, and recent apps button doesn't work, and I can't get to the keyboard. There is a Hide icon at the bottom of every screen (an eye with a line through it, and the word, "hide"). Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Did this get answered. I'm experiencing the same thing on a Galaxy Note 5.

try
SETTINGS:
ACCESSIBILITY:

look for "soft keys"

also depends on type of phone (mine is a BLU life XL) and android version...

if you are brave: https://www.technologyhint.com/enable-soft-keys-android-phone/
by editing the build prop file with a rooted phone and a text file editor... use "1" instead of "0" -- [ qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 ]

hope this helps
