Empty space at the bottom of the screen on Android (S24 Ultra)

[everyday]

Description of the issue:

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed that there’s an empty space at the bottom of the screen when using Brave on my Galaxy S24 Ultra. It’s just blank, like the webpage doesn’t extend all the way down.

I don’t see this issue in other browsers or apps, so it seems to be specific to Brave. I’ve looked through the settings but couldn’t find any option to disable or adjust it.

Is this a known issue or is there some workaround I’m missing?

Thanks!

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Open Brave on Android

2. Issue is visible on all pages

Expected result:

There should be no blank space at the bottom of the screen

Brave Version( check About Brave): Brave 1.83.112, Chromium 141.0.7390.70

Mobile Device details: S25 Ultra OneUI 8

Additional Information: this also happens in landscape, for example when watching YouTube, there’s a large gray bar at the bottom of the screen.

@everyday it has been reported on Chrome and other browsers as well. It’s something that changed in OneUI 8. Some open topics on it:

• There's a grey bar at the bottom of Brave
• Empty bar (1cm) at the bottom of the screen
• https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/48630

I noticed the upper/lower search/tool bar won’t hide either when scrolling. It occurred on Chrome Browser too.

Oh, and because I only linked for Brave earlier, let me show others:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS25/comments/1nk1jd0/bottom_bar_in_chrome_after_oneui_816_update/

With it happening on Chrome and other Chromium browsers, plus with it only seeming to be devices using One UI 8 (Samsung), I’m guessing it’s going to need to be fixed by one or both of those. But at least it’s a known thing and should be getting looked into.

I use XOS Infinix, I think it’s a Chromium issue, I use Edge Beta, Brave and Chrome. Edge, being beta, was the first to show the bug, later others adopted after update. Now Edge Beta seems to have been fixed (and I assume it’s chromium in general) so others might be fixed soon

Hi. I have downgraded the brave broswer to 1.81.128 version and that problem doesn’t exist now.

I have a similar issue on my Honor Magic 6 Pro. I’m on Brave 1.84.133.
