Can try this out if you're on android 14 in Developer settings

Navigating Android 14 is much easier if you enable this new feature

Android 14's updated back gesture lets you check where you'll end up — here's how to enable it

I'm dying to try this out on my daily driver, but I worry that my Android Auto setup will get messed up. It's probably not that long before the stable version of 14 will be released too, right?

Yeah shouldn't be long before Android 14 is released, I'm going try it out on my Samsung s23u but currently on vacation.

I'm still happily in the button navigation gang, and no plans to change.

I switched over to gesture navigation about 5 years ago. I'll never go back. My wife is firmly in the button camp as you are.

I tried it and hated gestures so much that I went back to buttons, plus added a 5th.

We all come from buttons you need to spend more time with gesture and it will come 2nd nature.
It's like regular typing vs glide typing I still have to train myself for guide typing so use to the traditional way to type or with a Spen typing.

I think for me it's partially about laziness lol.... I don't want to have to spend the time relearning something when I've been doing it one way for so long.

Plus the buttons seem more direct and precise than all the swiping, for me anyway

I changed to gestures as soon as they were available with Android 10.
Having been with BB for years gestures were a breeze for me and felt like I was coming home.

The nice thing about Android is giving lots of choices, which allows for more flexibility.

Yip, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. At least this isn't one of those if it ain't broke, fix it until it is broke situations like many updates.
