Back Button Gesture

[Arshaa]

In the new android 10 gesture to go back where we swipe from the side of the screens, it would be great if there was an option to choose from which side we want the gesture on (left only / right only / both sides) along with the height at which this gesture works on the sides making it easier to use the side menus within most apps.

Hi @Arshaa 

I get where you are coming from (Oh, how many times have I opened "Edge" screen when trying to just return to the previous view?).  I will let the development team know about it and maybe they will find some way of improving that!

Thanks!

@TomaszT 

May be there can be another small edge bar added to the side to trigger the back gesture alone. �

Too many cooks spoil the broth? 😂😂

@Arshaa 

Haha, that's definitely one of the solutions. But maybe too many Edge screens could cause some confusion 

But that is certainly something worth looking into! 

Thanks again!

I agree it would be great if you could limit this gesture to a section of the screen, as it currently makes it impossible to swipe into side menus (eg in Twitter) without going back!

Limit the gesture to the bottom quarter of the display would be better

Hi @TomaszT 

I myself would like to see the back gesture restricted to the bottom quarter of the phone or choice of side as stated previously on here ,using edge screen or any apps that use swipe from edge to open menus does become a bit of a pain
