New UI gestures update

[Twentytwo]

I mean why even make this change to the navigation bar, I have to relearn the new gestures and it's just tedious to have to do this, there was nothing wrong with the old one, guess some developers had absolutely nothing to do with their time so they decided to change something that didn't need to be changed....

edit: people are saying this is due to customer feedback, then at least leave the option to go back to the old one? doesn't make sense tbh

edit 2: they've added it back! good job devs

[DaveTM]

They haven't put it back, no 3 line option on the z5 flip

Please put the old one ui 6 gestures back ASAP

[Ge0phph]

Cannot find the work round anywhere

Is navstar available for flip 4?

This new update is complete garbage. If you can keep the standard navigation as buttons, you can keep them as gestures. Android default should be an option to choose if you prefer it, NOT rammed down our throats.

The unique navigation on Samsung Galaxy phones is why many people buy them. If we wanted to have the same ***** as everyone else, we'd buy a Pixel.

Shame on you, Samsung. Shame on you for abandoning years of consistency in favour of trying to do what everyone else was doing that made them want one of your phones instead.

Hours of my life wasted because you can't understand that if a small group of people want something, you shouldn't change the experience for everyone.

These new buttons are trash. I never switched to Apple because I like my phone controls and customizations. Why remove and not add more choices.

I dont think its the customer feedback. If Samsung really cared about customer feedback, they shouldn't compromise user experience in every one ui update. Since one ui 4, every update made my samsung ultra phone more hard to use. 

So in every update that I am forced I started to lose functionality of my phone. 

For example I never used my phone camera after one ui 5 update. Loss of camera functions. 

I disabled google assistant/ gemini after one ui 6.1 to use Navigation swipes. 

I disabled Android Auto and Bluetooth after one ui 5 update has silenced my notifications when connected to bt device although all sounds are on.  (When connected to ear buds or bt headset I sometimes take them off. When a call or sms/whatsapp received, Phone doesn't play a sound. It keeps ringing on a bt device. So i miss all calls etc. Before update Imcould switch notifications on both)

Samsung tries to make users let samsung.

When Apple phones started to get cheaper than Samsung I looked at them for the first time. A massive decision for me not to move over was the gestures, the 3 lines are engrained in me and my usage of a phone and I use them every hour that I'm using my phone. For samsung to not even give the option to have it as it was and pander to other people that use other companies phones in hopes they'll move over is ridiculous. I don't usually install updates because of stupid things like this that make me hate my phone but my camera started flickering so I had to.

GIVE US BACK THE OPTION - also is the only work around installing those 2 apps or have they listened to threads like this like the OP said in edit 2?

Absolutely NOT. This is the most unintuitive and unnecessary change they have done to such a frequently used feature which is basic navigation. It's like they didn't even bother testing or running it past a few people for their opinion. They should have at least included options to change gestures to how they used to be, intuitive and quick.
