How To: Hide the Navigation & Status Bars on Your Galaxy S8 for Even More Screen Real Estate No Root Needed
The Samsung Galaxy S8's almost bezel-less display is truly a sight to behold, especially when set to Immersive Mode. While transparent when on the home screen, the navigation and status bars on the S8 will often turn opaque depending on what app you're using at the moment. This, in turn, can detract from the overall experience when viewing anything from the S8's display, as the bars along the top and bottom of the screen bump the phone's aspect ratio down to lower levels.As it turns out, it's actually possible to permanently set your Galaxy S8 into Immersive Mode using a method that has worked on other phones in the past. While no root is required to perform this modification, you will have to run an ADB command. So here's a guide on how to get the most out of your S8's gorgeous display รข€” just be sure to take your time and follow the steps exactly as they appear, especially if this is your first time with ADB and Fastboot.Don't Miss: Know Your Android Tools: What is ADB & How Do You Use It?

The keyboard will still pop out as it normally does whenever you tap on a box that requires text input, and the home button's haptic feedback still remains active, but you'll need to reveal the navigation buttons to access Google Assistant.
Reverting This ModFinally, if you ever want to bring your S8 back to its stock configuration and re-enable the status and navigation bars, simply type in the following command to bring the display back to its original settings:adb shell settings put global policy_control null* So how are you enjoying the extra bit of screen real estate you reclaimed by performing this mod?
