Remove floating home icon from launcher?

Just started using the Android launcher and it has a floating home icon on the screen which we find annoying.  Android has a home button on the phone itself and seems to do the same thing.  Anyone ever see a way to remove it?

Thanks.

In My Workspace ONE, check under Products. If you are using the v4.x +, you will find the answer.

Thanks Vincent. Can you give me more guidance? Products under Staging & Provisioning? Or is there a products under Groups & Settings? Didn't see it within the launcher profile. I'm on 9.6.0.6 so assuming it's not something in a later version.


Thanks.

The info is not in the console but in the My Workspace ONE support web site.
The answer is in the Custom Profile.

Add the following to the ' Custom Settings'  section of your Launcher config profile.

We did this and it only takes the ability to use it away. It does not restore the functionality of the home button. I have a dedicated button for navigating. Why can't I use it??

Jared, You need to add two custom settings to the profile (as found in the article that James C referenced: https://support.workspaceone.com/articles/360000986827)


Note: This does seem to automatically initiate a logout of anyone in the current profile, as the soft buttons cant be returned until the launcher logs back in.


1) RemoveHomeFloatingButtonSetting -- roughly midway thru the article


2) SkipCosuSetup - COSU -- found at the very end of the article
