Did you download the game from the Google app store or from Github?
Also, naming versions (of Android and game) could help us to solve your problem faster.

Hm, did you activate the “Force Full Screen” option at the start? This seems to make the button disappear, going by [this issue report](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/39224)…
The suggested solution in that case would be to not activate fullscreen.
