I am not sure what causes that switch but I am so happy to know a solution. Visit the website you want to add to your home screen. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner. Now tap Add to Home screen. If the website has an official Android app, then try the app instead of adding a shortcut to the website. Try to add a different website shortcut.

Hence, in this following article, we are about to share some simple and easy methods to add home & back soft button keys on your Android. All of the methods will work on non-rooted Android smartphones. I use the “add to home screen” option for site links on a regular basis. I finally figured out an issue with the add to home screen option. The issue was that some sites save as the home screen and not the actual link that is viewed.
Using Virtual SoftKeys
The example below uses an anonymous inner class to make red preferences. I used this in my app, it keeps the button on top of the list which looks better and is more user friendly for OK and Cancel buttons. Actually this does not display a button at all, which will confuse the user and isn't what the OP asked. Correct answer to actually show a button is Nicolas's. You’ll see your screen shrink and a home icon appear at the top.

This will appear like a normal Preference, with just a title and a summary, so it will look like it belongs. One issue Google Feed has run into is not updating as often as it should, so stories could remain at the top of your feed for days.
Removing a New Home Screen
Not just that, but Home Button also provides users an option to hide the navigation bar whenever the keyboard appears. After launching the app, you will see the screen like below. Here you need to tap into the Accessibility and then grant the permission.
These can be part of the Android system, your custom homescreen launcher or carrier-specific, such as Verizon’s AppFlash. These home screens include additional features, such as search, suggestions, and content discovery. Unfortunately, not all Android phones put the navigation button settings in the same place. In this guide, we’ll show you how it works for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices. Learn how to use your Android device and get the most out of Google.

You will to toggle the Assistive Touch option ‘ON’. After the last one is removed, the Home screen will be removed. You’ll get images of your Home screens.

Newer Android systems allow you to add integrated search to your up or down swipe on your Home screen. While this should be turned off by default, sometimes it’s not. Integrated search allows you to search for any file, app, or setting on your device from a single search location. If you are looking to add touch screen buttons on your iOS device, here are the steps that are listed to do so. This will help you add not only the home button but also many others such as power button, rotate screen, volume control and more.

Usually, the first screen is set as your home, but it can easily be the third or fourth if you’d like. Sometimes you may decide to make a change after carefully organizing all your app shortcuts. No matter which screen you want to use, the process is the same. Modern smartphones don’t have physical buttons, and people prefer to use Gestures for navigation.
If you use Windows 11, follow your favorite news sources with widgets. To change this, use the above method. If the issue persists, disable the Left Home Screen option. Tap any empty area of the screen to exit the settings. Tap your Home button to ensure the screen is set correctly.
You can either tap Add again and the system will automatically add the shortcut to your home screen(Usually it’s added to a window where there are no apps). This is usually in the "No unlock needed" section. Again, if the switch is grey, it's off, and you'll need to tap to turn it on (it'll turn blue to indicate that it's on) to set shortcuts.
