Hey! Why don’t we overlap buttons on purpose! What a great idea!

    Yes. You just swipe left from the edge of the screen to go back. You swipe up from the bottom to go to home. And a smaller swipe from the bottom, dunno how to describe it, for the square menu thingy. Easier than the buttons and you also gain extra screen space.

      Except when laying down and your blanket touches your screen and it loses its God damn mind.

      Fuck I hate gestures

        Oh…dunno. Mine’s not that reactive to objects. I just tried touching my screen with a piece of cloth, even wrapping my finger in one and I still can’t make it react.

          Maybe it’s just shitty phones ¯_(ツ)_/¯ either way though, if your feature makes my phone unusable it’s def gonna trigger me. Obviously that’s very self centered, but I believe accessability should be for everyone. Far too often devs remove beloved features from their software and it breaks so many legacy features.

      I don’t care about that small amount of extra screen space, and I don’t like gestures, and I should have the ability to choose which solution I prefer.

        You do get to choose. That’s what the settings are for. Someone commented the solution to the issue.

        You’re writing this comment as if someone just took your phone, changed the setting and removed the ability to change it back

          I’ve found myself in a similar situation to OP, where a given app presumes that everyone is using gestures and conflicts with the buttons, and I don’t appreciate it.
