So i just bought Asus rog phone 6d and im extremely bothered by the lack of the back ,home and whatewer is the 3 one called buttons on the news androids. Is this something you all got used to with time or does this still bother you( IT really fells much less intuitive compared to the old 3 buttons ,alghtough preferably i would love to have both since the back gesture seems kinda usefull )?

    It’s trying to feel like Apple after iPhone X, but I feel it misses the mark.

    The swipe gestures on iOS are swiping elements, but on Android it’s triggering an action, and things like swiping from the right/trailing edge going back feels wrong to me.

    I sometimes miss the back button on iOS, it’s a good button.

      The back button on ios is super far away. Back gesture you can do anywhere.

        From pretty much any iOS screen you can swipe from the left to dismiss the current view and go back (most apps use navigation stacks which work that way)

        On Android the back button can be used by the app or move you backwards in a browser-path style which is nice.

        In practice on iOS anywhere you want to go back you just swipe.
