What happened

One UI 9 fixes one of Samsung DeX’s most annoying taskbar regressions, according to Android Authority. You can finally hide it again on Galaxy tablets, or move it out of the way entirely. TL;DR One UI 9 restores a built-in option to hide the taskbar on Samsung tablets that disappeared with One UI 8. Samsung is an electronics company based in Suwon.

In standalone DeX, the setting can hide both the taskbar and status bar, while external-display DeX can hide the taskbar. Samsung is also adding more freedom to position the regular tablet taskbar on the left, center, or right. Samsung’s switch to the new desktop mode in Android 16 came with a frustrating side effect: several familiar DeX controls disappeared in One UI 8.
