The three tiny keys at the bottom of your Android device that allow you to go back and forth to your home screen are essential tools not available on many devices.
Most methods listed online that allow you to add these keys to your device involve rooting your device, but this voids your warranty.
However, if you don’t want to do that or want to mess around with your phone for fun, there is an option that allows you to add the soft keys to your device without rooting it.
This can be done by making use of the apps that are given below:
Back Button (No root required)
Whenever the app is launched, you see a popup that asks you to enable the app permission in Accessibility.
Then, click the Active button to activate the app and select the buttons you want on your screen.
You can also reposition these buttons by tapping on them. You can resize and customize these buttons according to your preference.
Using Simple Control
Like the app mentioned above, this app needs permission before being used. To do this, go to Settings and then tweak the options according to your preferences.
Then, you need to go through the icons you have listed and choose the most suitable for you.
Soft Keys 2
After granting permissions after Accessibility, tap on the Settings icon and select Width, Height, and Transparency based on your preference.
Next, press the home button, and you can see the soft buttons at the bottom of your screen.
Virtual Soft Keys
After granting access to this app, access the main interface. There, you can adjust the size and position of the virtual soft keys.
You will also have to customize the settings under the shared config. For instance, you can use the smart hidden feature, which automatically hides the soft keys bar when the keyboard is open.
Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar is another option for people to get their hands on the navigation buttons.
This is a notable plus for this app because it has a wide range of customization options that allow you to play around with the color of the navigation bar.
Home Button
This app allows you to add a Home button to your phone, and it comes in handy when the built-in app has failed or broken.
Like the navigation bar app, the Home button lets users set different button sizes and change color.
Assistive Touch
This app provides an option to control various features like adjusting brightness, capturing a screenshot, etc., through a floating panel on the screen.
Besides the option that allows you to drag the panel anywhere on your screen, you can allocate a home and back button to the floating panel to replace the built-in navigation bar.
