Bring back the 3-position gesture navigation bar! #usability #navigation #android

On the S24, they've made a change to the navigation gesture bar. The old 3-position bar (swipe up for app drawer, home, back) has been replaced with a single bar in the middle that goes home. To go back, you have to swipe in from the sides, and opening the app task drawer is not as straightforward.

 

I believe it would be beneficial if they provided the option to have the three separate gesture navigation options back. This would allow users to choose the navigation method that they prefer and are most comfortable with. Galaxy S24 Ultra. Galaxy S24+. Galaxy S24

It's not the same. I just tried using it to close my keyboard on telegram, like I always have and it doesn't work because it's now on the side (back button). 

 

This is a step backwards

This has literally ruined my user experience on my phone. I used the bottom right swipe up (back button) non stop to navigate messages and apps quickly. Sliding from the right side of screen doesn't work the same. 

It's actually a deal breaker of buying a Samsung for my next phone.

One line in navigation bar is confusing, at least give three lines navigation back as an option. So much useless features are added to our phones..

I am loyal to Samsung and I am really disappointed. This is the way, how to prevent users from updating their phones!

I can't get over it.

Please don't use this app. The accounts recommending it are bots. Don't always trust 3rd party apps. Wait for an official fix.

There will be no fix. This is not a bug.
