Thankfully, Samsung has provided the straight-to-cut method on how to do that. Just go to your Settings menu and select Display > Full-Screen Apps.

But there are more chances or percentages that you might end up not liking the black bar that will create a bolder bezel at the top of the phone. Henceforth, you might move forward to the next option.

According to the source, this particular option makes it “look disproportionate since the bottom does not adjust to offer a more balanced display placement between the forehead and the chin. The black bar will continue to show on other viewing modes like full-screen video and camera as well.”
