Where are home, back, recent buttons on Galaxy S8 with Oreo 8.0

[Android Central Question]

My new Galaxy S8 had several software upgrades. Today it upgraded to Oreo 8.0. Now my home, recent and back buttons are completely gone. Not just hidden, they are gone altogether and nothing I try brings them back.

I had this same issue when I updated to Oreo this morning but I think I found a fix. Go into Settings > Lock screen and security > Other security settings > device admin apps/ and start unchecking apps one at a time (and rechecking them if they don't fix it so you don't take away all of your apps admin rights) until you find the one that brings the icons back. That fixed it for me. Hope this helps!
