Hi, it really doesn’t seem possible to remove the google searchbar from my homescreen on my FP3. What am i missing? How can i remove it? This is actually bothering me a lot :-/

I tried the usual step: long click on it, config of the launcher, try every options in parameters and finally deactivate Google search and all google product I was able to deactivate in Applications menu. The seachr bar is still there, but inactive.

My answer is a bit out of topic, but we should be able to identify who got a FP3 just with profiles of the forum, but so far it is just FP1 or FP2 :wink:

[image] First findings with the new Fairphone 3 Any idea? [image] sodayi: I got myself lawnchair, Problem solved, thank you

I’m using Nova launcher rather than the default launcher. No search bar by default.

Lawnchair also solved my problem. Thanks! Would be nice if no extra app is needed. On my tablet search bar can be completely removed without new launcher.

I have the same problem,and I don’t wanna use Lawchair, just want to disable the bar?
