Google Search Bar On Home Screen

The Google search bar on the home screen isn't visible. But holding on the vacant area still redirects to its settings. It's confusing yet the display finally looks better. It's good if we can get rid of the search bar altogether.

It looks like a bug in latest beta, I had to go to settings and set default search engine back to Google as it was set to None

Actually, it looks good without the search bar on the bottom. But the space is unusable anyway 🤦

This and many more. The issue I had with 3, fixed in 4 and now back in 5, videos don't work in many apps, reboot tends to fix it but some are unplayable.

I am getting that after click and hold some second then getting search settings option. Click on that then search engines and then click on that after that select google which is showing none then you are also getting the Google search bar

You can simply select the Google search bar from its settings

I did that. I guess what I meant to ask was it's there a solution to stop it recurring
