        One of the 3 virtual buttons that always display (4 for me since I have the accessibility button displayed also). (Background, homepage, and back- reverse order for standard android. I have Samsung)

            I hate gesture controls. Even more fiddly and imprecise than fake buttons. Pinch zoom, scroll, and change page are more than enough.

              How come it’s more fiddly? It works soooo smooth and reliable. And that coming from a dude who can’t type one error-free word on the phone.

                My general problem with touchscreen controls is chance of error and lack of feedback. I want buttons. I don’t want to accidentally do a thing because I idly swiped at the screen while looking away briefly.

              lol the gesture controls on modern smartphones are overwhelmingly less fiddly (read: not at all) than your horrible excuses for defending an outdated piece of technology like ‘buttons’ when much better options exist.

      lol back button - how freaking 2000s. buddy we just move our finger left on the screen and we go back. like are you a caveman? this is Android fans these days, crowing about obsolete pieces of their technology like it was good. it wasn’t then it really isn’t now.

      Swiping from the left is almost universally a go back in ios.

      With android’s gestures it simulates pressing the back button which is really awful. But iOS does swipes correctly.

        Hahaha iOS swipe is awful.

        If you 4 finger swipe now it goes back to previous app. Do it again now it goes to the app you just left. Wait a few seconds and it’s anybodies guess where it goes.

        Even worse if you bring down the “notification” screen… Supposedly swiping up makes it go away, but it rarely works. Same with pulling up the app bar while in ful screen apps - that takes two swipes, and the second one has to be just so, not too fast, not too slow, and within some weird timing - try it too soon and it just doesn’t respond.

        Apple’s swiping system is just a fucked up mess. (I use iOS all day long).

          Swiping to go back to a previous app isn’t the best, but Androids implementation is just as janky. Once you figure out what the delay is for the current app to be the “latest app” then it’s not awful.

          Maybe iPad OS is different, but I don’t ever have any issues with full screen apps on regular iOS.
