So, I’m using a Pixel 4A, and almost daily, I end up having to reboot because the navigation bar overlaps the bottom of my apps or games, and rebooting is the only way I find to fix this.

Is there another way? Did anyone know? It’s getting very frustrating. Sometimes I can’t do very basic things because of this.

    I noodled with my ‘cutout’ settings in developer options and had this sort of thing happen. Even if you don’t have a punch hole camera on the pixel 4 (I honestly don’t remember if it does), if your version of Android has settings for this, it can render the UI above or below the specified viewing area.

    I know this is the nav bar though, but it’s worth a shot.

    Settings > Developer options* > Display cutout

    *you may need to ‘become a developer’ to view these options first.

    Best of luck!

      You should let people know that you actually mean enable developer settings and that’s what’s behind that link you provided because some might get turned off if they don’t get your joke (of they don’t know anything about it, how could they get the joke) and not even bother to open the link, assuming you actually mean they need developer skills or some sort of accreditation hehe
