How to hide bottom navigation bar in Youtube app? I want to hide bottom navigation bar (not system wide navigation bar) or at least make it act like Chrome toolbar which shows/hides itself on scroll. I am blank on this as I couldn't find anything on hiding Bottom Navigation bar, except through programmatically. 

This is what I'm talking about.



I'm using a rooted OnePlus 6 with stock Android 8.1 and Xposed Framework. 

As for reason for wanting this: I'd prefer to have real screen estate show something dynamic from Youtube, as part of scrolling content. That bar is in my way of using view to its maximum size.
The Xposed module L Tweaks supports the feature of removing the bottom navigation bar of Youtube and several other apps.


Install L Tweaks. After installing the module, open it, then click Google.


Google apps are listed with features that L Tweaks can enable/disable. Go to the bottom to find Youtube. Enable Remove bottom bar


Before opening Youtube, force stop it. Open Youtube, the bottom navigation bar will no longer be shown. 


To access Home, Trending, and other options, swipe from the left as you do for Google .Play




The module is also available in Google Play Store and has other features.

Note: The device must be rooted, and have Xposed framework installed to use the module correctly.
