Ever since its appearance in Android Pie, I always consider 2 button navigation is a bad attempt by Google trying to play catch-up with the fad generated by the iPhone X. However, due to a bug with A13 QPR2 it had to be temporarily removed and many were not happy about this. So, 2 button navigation users, may I ask why do you prefer this method? To me it makes you do more for the same action whilst doesn’t save any screen space.

    with gesture navigation I can’t use the pullout menus

    You can. Just tap and hold the edge of the screen

      Huh, didn’t know that. Not the most elegant solution though

      Been using gesture nav for a few days and man this is jank. Many times holding the edge activates a long press action on something on the screen. Worst offender being discord. Only reason I’m still using it is that I’m sure I’m going to lose 2 button nav here in the next update or so.

        I’ve been using it for years and never have issues with it. I guess it just takes some getting used to

          Most likely, I did some more research into it last night and apparently a two finger swipe or a 45 degree swipe will activate the bar more reliably, both of which are a bit obnoxious. I’m sticking with it for now, we’ll see how it goes!
