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.

Used to be a bar person, but at some point it broke on the custom ROM im running for a few updates so i switched. Been using gestures ever since. I like them maybe a lil less because phones are too big, but it feels faster

The life of custom ROM users ๐Ÿ˜…. I sympathize with you.

The back gesture is fine until it takes me out of an app. I hate that. Sometimes I trigger it unintentionally because Iโ€™m trying to swipe in an app but the system picks it up instead.

This stopped happening for me once I lowered the back gesture sensitivity all the way. It was a little tedious at first trying to grab the very edge of my screen, but I got used to it pretty quickly

I still prefer the navigation buttons. I just can't get used to gesture controls
