"Immersive mode" is intended for apps in which users will be heavily interacting with the screen. With this API, apps can hide the status bar, the navigation bar, or both. When users need to bring back the system bars, they swipe from any edge where a system bar is hidden.
"Immersive mode" was originally introduced in Android 4.4 KitKat (API level 19). View.setSystemUiVisibility and other APIs provided ability to toggle visibility of System UI windows, such as the status bar and the navigation bar. The API was overhauled in Android 11 (API level 30), and apps can now use WindowInsetsController and other APIs to control the behavior and visibility of System UI windows that affect WindowInsets. Alternatively, apps can use WindowInsetsControllerCompat to implement this feature in a backward-compatible manner.
