How to hide the Notch on Android (Black Tab)
To get rid of the Notch on our Android phone we will have to use an application and from TechnoWikis we recommend the use of Nacho Notch. This app is free to use and does not contain ads or a paid version with extra options. To download and install it on your Android device, you can do it through the following link: Nacho Notch - Notch Hider
It should be noted that the Nacho Notch app does not work exactly like the iOS applications dedicated to hiding the notch on iPhone X. In reality, this option is better than the solutions available for the Apple device since these applications only work in the starting screen. Nacho Notch will take effect on all the screens of your Android devices even on application screens. This app will get the status bar to be completed in black, thus hiding the Notch.
The Nacho Notch app does not have a graphical user interface but it is a button / icon for quick access. Therefore to start using it we will have to add it to the quick access menu of your Android device . To do this you will have to unlock your Android phone and scroll down, the upper edge of the screen down..
Once deployed you will need to scroll down this notification area again. When you have displayed the full quick access menu, you should click on the pencil icon. It will be then when you find the Nacho Notch button / icon which you must drag to the quick access menu of your Android.
Note: Depending on the Android version, the pencil icon may not be available, in which case you will have to select the icon in the form of three vertical dots in the upper right of the screen. This will reveal a menu in which you will have to select the option: Button order.
Once added, click on this button so that the application is enabled. As soon as the Nacho Notch app is enabled, you will see how the status bar of your Android phone is completed in black, making the (Notch) tab hidden. Now the app will automatically take care of detecting the height of the status bar of your phone and collect everything in black. The icons in the status bar will still be visible.
Although the use of this application is recommended for users of Android devices with Notch, they can also be used on phones without Notch. In this case, what we will do is highlight the status bar in any application since the background of it will be shown in black.
