Hoping somehow we can get expanded desktop working without root. I have a Nexus 6, and love being able to hide the nav bar.

UHM...I watched the whole video...am i blind?
Oohh indeed, my bad
I must have seen this in an other of his videos. A double tap on his button enabled expanded desktop.
But you can see at the begining of the video, the S8+ (on the right) has expanded desktop enabled, there is no navbar :)

I will write a tutorial after I finish up with a Google Assistant app I'm working on for work, In short I used a combination of button mapper and Tasker to get the desired effect without root. I also did not install the update which blocks modifications to the bixby button.

you can do it on any version with bixbye, tasker, and autotools.
use bixbye to trigger a tasker task.
in tasker create a profile "event - plugin - bixbye" and have its task be to trigger immersive mode through autotools.
