Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control.

I’ve used the navigation buttons since they released on android and just recently started trying to use the gesture based navigation. It’s been a little difficult for me to adapt to it so far, but curious what others experience has been.

    To be honest with you, I was a die hard 3 button fan, and an anti-gesture person (cause iOS vibes). After sometime, it was like the best way to navigate! Can’t go back to 3 buttons ever again. It feels so slow, and choppy.

    P.S. If your apps has swipe to left to do X, you should change them for a better experience.

      Yeah, I keep running into issues with apps with swipe actions. I don’t want to delete or archive an email if I’m just trying to use the back swipe function!
