I have been using gestures instead of buttons on my phone since S9 days. They were perfect, simple to use. But, since I updated my S23 to OneUI 6.1, I had to revert back to buttons on bottom on screen which are much less usable. Using one button for both recent apps and home screen is pretty convoluted, it doesn't get what I want every time. But using side-swipe for going back is catastrophe, it barely works, is limited to small area on the side and doesn't work every time I swiped. Tried every sensitivity level and nothing improves it.
Maybe somebody loves new design and that is great. But perfectly usable old feature got replaced with something that is less usable, at least for some users, without any good reason. Old implementation was working great for years, why remove it completely, why not keep it as an option?
