It’s Time to Stop Using Three-Button Navigation on Android: Stop Tapping and start Swiping

https://bit.ly/3kaMqgq Option screen on Android to choose between a navgation bar with buttons at bottom of screen vs swipe up (no buttons showing)

I’ve resisted this for a bit, but finally gave in and tried it out a week back. I opted for the three bottom swipes, so everything is still actually in the same position (to make the transition a bit easier) but I may still progress to the side swipe.

Yes, the muscle memory does actually kink in quite quickly, and I’m sticking with it. It gains a bit of extra screen space for you, but the theory too is that it is quicker to just swipe, than to aim for the actual buttons as a press. Also having recently switched back from using an iPhone, it actually feels a bit similar as iOS uses the swipe up for return to home screen, and swipe up and sideways to see recent apps.
