That's been on android for years and it's actually way better imo. I switched to iPhone with the 15 and love it but a big gripe is how inconsistently the swipe left gesture works
Yeah, I switched to the 13 mini and it took me a while to get used to all the various ways devs implement a back function. I really wish you could always swipe in from the left to go back on iOS. Leaving stuff like that up to devs instead of being OS wide is a bad idea. Same with dismissing a stack of DM notifications from one place instead of just the one you click on.
This is one of my gripes with iOS. It's annoying that the swipe gesture for back doesn't always do the same thing everywhere. In some apps it will reveal a menu, in others it will go back.
I love the back gesture on Android that just does the same thing globally.
Must be device specific? I had Xiaomi, while the people I know have Samsung, Oppo, Realme and the only way to go back is to tap the back button at the bottom left corner of the screen which is why I get annoyed having to twist my thumb all the way to that corner.
Pixel has it on by dafult. The rest of them it's the buttons by default and has to be turned on
