Pixel C running 7.1.2

[Incitatus]

Since the update I can no longer swipe away to close open programs, I have to click the little X on the top right to close the program. It was much easier to swipe away on the big window rather than making sure I am directly on the X to close it.

Is there an option to switch back to a swipe, rather than click?

Thank you

My husband and I have the same issue (Pixel C). I hope this wasn't as designed. I like my swipe to close.
