Swipe gestures on Android is still superior (alien.top)

I know this topic has been discussed many times in the past. I really wanted to give an iPhone a try coming from an Android, but the navigation on the phone seems to be a huge downgrade.

The back button is in most applications out of reach with one hand. And swiping on the right edge is not user friendly for a right hander.

On android you can do that from both sides and it makes the overall experience much smoother!

Will apple ever catch up with android?

That warning came a little bit late, but I appreciate it 🤭

I was about to make the switch from Samsung to Apple, but after reading most of the comments, I think staying with Android is the less evil.

I used my android most of the time with the buttons and came across the gestures only a month ago. I was really surprised, since iOS doesn't even have buttons, that their navigations feels less intuitive than android.

And for so many years I was told, Android is complicated.
