Devastated over two button nav being killed off. I love having a back button but I like the swipe to switch apps and to go home.
I have a magisk mod that puts it back in but it's now extremely broken thanks to Google and it doesn't seem to work on new installs. Stopped working properly around May '23 update. P7 Pro
I still have a half working version modded into my Pixel 7 Pro. I like the gesture to go home, but I prefer having a back button because with gesture navigation I can't use the pullout menus.
For recents (what's broken, I have to go to the home screen first before I can pull it up) I use it much less frequently and would rather a half swipe to activate.
I really hope the bug gets patched, but I'm expecting it to stop working entirely in Android 14
EDIT; Saw another comment mention the slide on the bottom bar to switch apps, which I also use much more frequently than the recents gesture
