Oh no.... I am still getting used to how this pixel 8 pro works, as it a bit different from my current pixel. My fingers feel a lil frustrated 😖

And I managed to flicker off into the abyss what seemed like the most important icon on the screen - the gear icon. 😂😬

See where it's missing.

How do I get this back?

search for "settings" app, long press on "settings" and drag it to the bottom 😊

Swipe upwards from the center of your screen and hold the Settings app icon with your finger, then drag it back to that spot.

It looks like you may have swiped it away by swiping from the bottom of the screen to see your apps drawer, you only need to swipe upward on any empty space to get to it 😃

I suggest looking up a guide on Pixel gesture navigation if you get stuck. We don't do anything different in regards to how OS navigation works compared to the standard OS.

😅 Laughing my ass off. I will get the hang of it.

Thank you, all! Phew. Got it.

Way to go navigating a new phone and a new os all at once. I am tapping myself on the back. 😅

As you should, being one of the few who "do", vs the many who "want". Love and respect 🫂🤙💜🔥
