Bar at the bottom of ipad screen

Is there a way to hide the swiping bar at the bottom of the screen, but still be able to use it as a function? Thus far I’ve only found the “guided access” workaround, which makes sense for gaming and such, but doesn’t solve my problem when I do switch between applications frequently, but would just prefer it not be visible (it’s especially frustrating when using procreate and the like). Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this still something the developers have chosen not to offer?

The bar at the bottom of the screen cannot be manually disabled or hidden - but can be suppressed by Apps if coded to do so by the App Developer.
