- There are several apps which allow the user to toggle immersive mode in Android. These may require root or the use of adb on a connected computer for the initial setup. Searching for "immersive mode" in the Play Store brings up 6 apps for me which say they perform this function (I haven't tested any of them).
The one I personally use is Xposed Edge, which requires root and is no longer available in the Play Store, but can be found on mirror sites for anyone interested.- Alternately, screen pinning does have the option on my system not to require authentication to unpin: "Ask for PIN before unpinning" can be turned off. Then the recents gesture (gesture navigation) or holding back+recents (3-button navigation) unpins.
