Android 15 brought a swipe
Android 15 brought stable is finally available for all eligible Google Pixel phones. Users have been enjoying all the new features of the latest version of the OS for a few days. However, they have also discovered a few issues that require fixing. One of the most annoying bugs in Android 15 is the one that prevents Pixel 8 Pro users from using the swipe-back gesture correctly.
By now, the vast majority of Android users will already be accustomed to the gesture navigation system. While some still prefer the classic bottom navigation bar, using gestures is quite convenient. Additionally, when using gestures, the navigation bar disappears, so you have more usable screen space that was previously unavailable in certain situations.
