Concerns about the rapidly growing app-sizes?

Now that we are all using gesture based navigation Android needs an option to hide the status bar for a more immersive experience in apps. Samsung internet app just added this option and it looks fantastic.

Samsung internet browser just [added an option](https://i.imgur.com/uqlcZrL.jpg) to hide the status bar. It reappears when you scroll up. So you can easily check your time and notifications.

Everytime I am on a website now I'm admiring the seamless edge-to-edge experience. It looks fantastic and all the apps that are still showing the status bar look cluttered and out of date. I just turned on an option in Nova launcher to hide the status bar....
