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

Okay. Installing goodlock and navstar, npw i set it! Yay!

 

Still it should be an option without external apps.

Ugh, it still doesn't work for me. I followed the steps and can't find swipe from bottom. I'm on the Galaxy s23 Ultra, does that matter? Does it have to be the s24?

Solution provided not working on the s23 ultra. Navstar doesn't have the extra gesture option anymore. Samsung is being Samsung. Not caring at all of what users want.

You need v6.1.05.40 and above version of NavStar where extra gestures are enabled

If not available on Galaxy Store check apkmirror

You can use this (my response above will lead you to that post) to get the gestures back.

I saw that some country doesn't have the app and they have to download the APK from 3rd party sites.

Also get the Navstar updated to at least v6.1.05.40 as some do not have the options listed there before updating to this.
