I know this topic has been discussed many times in the past. I really wanted to give an iPhone a try coming from an Android, but the navigation on the phone seems to be a huge downgrade.
The back button is in most applications out of reach with one hand. And swiping on the right edge is not user friendly for a right hander.
On android you can do that from both sides and it makes the overall experience much smoother!
Will apple ever catch up with android?
Android have that feature too but I never use it in both. Back gesture on Android is better since you can use them on both sides and it work with every application.
That down gesture I had the s21 ultra and the s22 ultra and it never worked on either. Not through lack of trying either.
It worked on my regular S22, but I hardly use it. I feel like that’s the main problem with Android - lot of features but only a few work well. Still, I have to admit, the back gesture is better than the iPhone.
