Can no longer edit the side bar on my phone?(possibly something that only affects Samsung phones?)

This is a strange issue that I just discovered today. This is not a problem on my desktop or my old phone. It’s only an issue on my current phone which is a Samsung S22.

Here is a screen recording from that phone where I try to remove stuff but nothing goes away. And I’m getting a blue box which I don’t see on my One Plus 7 Pro.

What sucks is that when I discovered this problem I added stuff back that I removed just to see if it would work. It did but now I can’t remove it and my sidebar is longer than I want it to be. This is made worse because my S22 is a smaller phone and I actually have to scroll down now to reach settings lol. So any help would be appreciated.

Ive noticed it as well on S20. Doesnt work from either holding on bar or edit toolbar when go through the user at the very bottom of the sidebar.

Yep, same here. I can add hidden entries but can’t hide them anymore. (Samsung S22 here, too). I guess it’s app fault

What version of the app are you all using?
I’m on a Pixel with 2025.5.3-full and just hid and added things to the sidebar with no issues. Seems like you all have Samsung phones, so maybe a dependency issue with whatever flavor of Android they’re putting out?

@Spiro @Protoncek I posted this on Reddit too and one person replied saying they also have this issue. The one thing we all have in common is that we all have Samsung phones.

This can’t be just a coincidence. It must have something to do with the brand we’re using.

Interesting…on my ipad however i can edit them, but i can’t start editing by holding upper-left name. Only way to edit is to go to user’s settings and hit “edit” there.

I have a Pixel 9 Pro & I can’t change anything either.

Oops I was too quick to assume then. Well at least a fix is coming soon.
