What? Where do you swipe and on which direction?
from the left screen edge towards right.
So still inconvenient.
lol my guy it’s the most intuitive, straightforward, natural way to go back that I can imagine. You just swipe the window back.
From the right to the left, yes. But from the left, you still have to reach your thumb across.
On my phone, everything is done symmetrical. Swipe from left or right edge towards
middle. Back
middle down. Switch between 2 last apps
middle down and hold. Kill/close current app
middle up. Multi task window
middle up and hold. Home
bottom up. Home
Left-to-right makes sense in iOS because new pages or screens in an app typically animate in from Right-To-Left, so the back gesture is just the opposite of that.
Different OS, different paradigm.
To switch apps, you swipe left and right along the little bar along the bottom of the screen. You can also swipe up on it to go to the app switcher view.
