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?

Careful man, everyone hates Android here lmao. Anyway, I kinda agree, I'm using iPhone for 2 years now and still miss that feature.

(Apple fans won't know, so don't ever argue)

I prefer Android over iOS and I find this sub to be way more level headed when compared to Android subs.

I also agree with the gestures, they are making big strides though. USB C, what next iTunes redesign for windows? If only haha.

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.
