Android switch to 3-button navigation

February 22, 2020

Android task switching swipe navigation can be switched to 3-button navigation. Some workflows are much easier via the traditional 3-button navigation used by Android since Android 3.x / 4.x. Also when wearing gloves, using 3-button navigation can work better.

Switch an Android device to traditional 3-button navigation (back, home, switch or triangle, circle square) by going to Settings → System → Gestures → System navigation and select “3-button navigation”.
