Getting rid of the line is fairly simple, but not thanks to Samsung

Why is the line there?

The line is called Gesture Hint and is there supposedly to make it easier to gesture for new users. Unfortunately it takes up precious screen space by default, if you don't change it to transparent. It will still be there, but apps can then use full screen and it will appear on top

You are most likely here because you got the OneUI 6.1 update or bought a phone that came with it, where Samsung had the genius idea to disable gesture settings menu where the gesture hint reside. Which auto enables gesture hint, with no option to turn it off

Getting rid of the line

OneUI 6 and older

Open Settings
Go into Display
Go into Navigation bar
Toggle off Gesture Hint

OneUI 6.1

Open Galaxy Store
Search for and install Good Lock
Open Good Luck
Now install NavStar, found under Make up section and that's the default section that opens up
Once installation is done, scroll to the top and click on NavStar
Click Start
Storage access is needed, so click Allow all or it won't work
Toggle on Enable extra gesture settings
Open Settings
Go to Display
Scroll down to Navigation bar
More options
Toggle off Gesture hint
You can uninstall Good Lock if you don't want it anymore, but do not remove NavStar or gesture hint will return, as the settings menu will disappear and re-enable Gesture Hint
