UX Improvement: Disable 'Immersive Mode' - Keep System Status & Navigation Bars Visible

Hi Team,

I have a critical suggestion regarding the app's UI/UX. Currently, the app forces a full-screen "Immersive Mode," which hides the System Status Bar (Top: Time, Battery, Network) and the System Navigation Bar (Bottom: Back, Home, Gestures).

Why this needs to change:

User Anxiety: As a trader, keeping an eye on the clock, battery percentage, and network strength is crucial. Hiding them creates unnecessary friction.

Navigation Issues: Hiding the bottom navigation keys/gestures disrupts the native Android experience, making it harder to switch apps or go back.

Technical Suggestion:

Please update the visibility of the System UI Overlays.

Instead of hiding overlays, please use SystemUiMode.edgeToEdge (or ensure SystemUiOverlay.values are visible).

Ensure the app respects the device's Safe Area rather than taking over the entire screen real estate.

Please bring back the standard system bars for a smoother experience.
