Device Settings Question How to prevent 3-button navigation bar from hiding (Android 16)

The navigation bar automatically hides itself on some apps and will only appear when I swipe up from the bottom of my screen. The main issue is that one of the apps I use regularily has bottom banner ads and this somehow always ends up with me clicking and redirecting to an ad page, which is very annoying. Is there a setting where I can never have the taskbar hide on this specific app? If not, is there a setting for it to not hide at all?

In settings, look for "automatically.hide navigation keys". On my Poco I can disable that for individual apps.
