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 )?

    I prefer gestures but I don’t like them - it’s too easy to swipe out of an App when you’re actually trying to do something else like pull out a side menu or switch along a carousel, or interact with something (e.g. swiping mail away). I tried to reduce the sensitivity of the gestures and then they became too useless.

    Unfortunately a lot of apps still aren’t designed with gestures in mind (mainly side swipes) and need optimising. Hopefully this will improve over time. I’m guessing carousels in particular are now no long practical in Android.
