Yes, I've noticed this sporadically on my Pixel 3 XL with Android 10 as well. If my back gesture button doesn't work I might have to hit the top left back arrow in messages.

Have you cleared the cache partition and rebooted yet?

[eric002]

Okay, here's an update. Clear cache on Android messages. Still not working though.

If you're sure you haven't deleted it with a 3rd party app, I would look at it in safe mode. If it's still not there...

I mean for me, it's not a big deal I was just letting you know that I cleared cash and sometimes the back gesture and messaging isn't working. I don't really care though lol

[methodman89]

Np, it's not something talked about often. Curious

[eric002]

Yeah trust me I know. Honestly, for me, I don't care too too much but if someone else cares more so we can tackle it further.

Which phone OP to offer suggestions?

[eric002]

Well, what I tried doing is increasing the back gesture sensitivity in system navigation controls to see that fixes the issue I'm doubtful but maybe.b . It's just not working. It's just a really weird and odd issue. Again, I don't really care too too much about it because we do have the top left backed arrow button but it is an odd behavior nonetheless.
