Show or Hide the Search Bar on the Home Screen auf Realme
The search bar at the bottom of the home screen is part of the Home screen and Lock screen settings in Realme UI. It gives you a shortcut to app search, contact search, and web search without swiping down for the notification panel or opening a dedicated search app.
Whether the bar is visible depends on one toggle. If it is missing, the toggle is off. If it appears without being wanted, the toggle is on and blocking space that some users prefer for widgets or extra app icons.
To change it, go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Home screen & Lock screen ➔ Enable or disable Search bar at screen bottom. Flipping the switch applies the change instantly, no restart needed.
This setting only affects the visual bar on the home screen. It does not remove app search itself, which stays available through the app drawer or notification panel search field. If you are looking to change what the search bar searches through, or to remove search results for specific apps, that is handled in a different menu, not this toggle.
There are no side effects from turning the bar on or off. It is purely a layout preference and does not affect performance, storage, or notifications.
