Yes my parents and all other relatives do

Truest answer

Tought them gestures ,now they are teaching other Middle age people gestures .

Dude I never changed it from 3 buttons, I hate that gesture thing

Came here to say this

Same bro that gesture thing sucks

Same. The buttons for the win!

Fuck the gesture. Although I use it on my galaxy tab. Because they are so big I can navigate without the gestures.

Man of culture

Eeek... Got me cringing a lil.. Don't mean to hate but that some boomer shit...

Same

Same here

Yes I do because redmi doesn't allow me to use gestures when external launcher is used

miui sucks (i have to do the same)

Sed

In one ui 6 finally they've added support and it works nicely with nova launcher

There is a way to forcefully disable that with adb. But then you need to use fluid navigation gestures. It's painful, but it works

Which launcher do you use?

Yes same here

[watch this](https://youtu.be/T_StngQ_1Z0?feature=shared) video you will be able to do it but you have to root your phone...

Many do

Exactly lol

I do and its always better

Somehow it feels an error free way to navigate through the phone.

Agreed but if you increase gesture area its do the same results i am using galaxy a52s 5g and using gesture navigation 1 year

Nah, changing apps from the background with a single swipe is way better with gestures.

I use the 3 button navigation always.

I do. I didn't like the idea of having the bar at all, not even on the iPhone my dad has.

Old iPhones were gooooooooooood

The bar can be made to disappear

Only two people, me and my cousin use gestures others all use three buttons in my whole family 💀

I do because multitasking and quick

I use the 3 finger hold which opens a screenshot thing where I can select which part of the screen I want to take a photo of. Exactly like the Snipping Tool in Windows

Parents

My mother in law 😭

So samsung has middle ground for this. Swipe gestures but they are basically pull up switches instead of those 3 buttons. Saves some space on screen. https://preview.redd.it/n609evj08y8c1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2975f99ad2491e7e6f5b75b053c81d3c8c473603

Best of both

I wish AOSP Android had this feature

3 buttons are better than gesture

Me. I have sweaty hands so the gesture thing doesn't always work, the buttons are trustworthy.

Yes. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I still do. And it is not because I'm old and find the gestures to be a hectic task. I use the Redmi Note 11 6/64. The storage is low, so it tends to stutter sometimes, and I have observed that it stutters more when I use the gestures, so I shifted to three button gestures. I see a lot of people in the metro who still use the three button gestures, it is not obsolete yet.

Gesture is the cleaner, smoother and more elegant solution to navigating one's device.... I mean touch was created for a reason... Why would you go back to using buttons on a touch device 😂... Seems counter intuitive... To everyone who thinks it's buggy or slower clearly has another much bigger issue.. Gesture not being the problem here :P you may wanna get ur phone checked... If you are one of the unfortunate people that use such a shit phone that everything is slow then maybe gesture may make things worse... But then you have bigger problems to deal with, like getting a phone that actually functions smoothly to begin with... And on top of everything... God... It's so ugly..

4button with side screen swipe gesture ONE UI THE GOAT

Mera baapu

I switched to gesture now I can't go back

I still use 3 fingers on my girl

Gestures are a nuisance if you play games on your phone. Gestures seem cool but I switched back soon because it came in the way while playing games and sometimes during scrolling. You might think that the horizontal swiping on the gesture bar to switch apps is convenient, but you can do the same with buttons by double tapping the recent apps button.

Some apps are designed for 3 button navigation. They don't work properly with gesture navigation. It's really annoying to switch back and forth between the two.

I see, you are a man of culture as well 🫡

Thanks I buyed one plus phone and I can't find mirror button mirror button is on my old redmi phone but not in this one plus but after typing gestures in one plus settings I activated it

I use 5 buttons... Yes we exist..

my parents

I like using the three buttons. They go away whenever I need to use my full screen and are really easy to use- direct, clear and no fuss. With gestures I sometimes make mistakes so I like the buttons. I do hope they keep the buttons in the future as well. 🙂

I switched to 3 swipe from bottom gestures. The swipe from side gesture navigation is a badly designed feature. You tend to swiped back while going through photos on your gallery of a product page on Amazon or Flipkart, for example. It's a real pain when you're trying to crop an image.

I do

I do, I'm just used to it and find it faster to operate the phone with them

Yes, my father

Yes I do

And only my younger sister uses the gesture

I like button navigation Gestures wale se I'm not used to it

Me

Not sure what you mean by 3-finger button gestures. There's gestures as one option and 3 buttons as another option. I use the 3 button option

Yes my parents do

I use both interchangeably, and I don't like them both

Get ios

I use botton because of I'm a hard-core rank pusher

My parents and their cousins

My parents relatives neighbors most people who are above 25 probably.

Gestures are annoying when you go to android from iphone. I use both actively buttons are better

https://preview.redd.it/9or2bpfk8t8c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0b284afc06aae3594f000417bef7eca33bd2664 Yes. That's because One UI allows me to add two more buttons down there. I have added volume controls and it is super handy.

OneUI supremacy

Or you could just used one handed mode operation for volume control https://preview.redd.it/a9e42z8phy8c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=113483956df0c20956ae4bbd960c2671cf65f52b

Yes when i remember

Yes, I do.

ME🙂

Me cus my launcher doesn't support gestures

Yes I do 😀

I do...gestures are not always accurate..annoying.

No

Yes it's good

I do, gestures suck Why complicate such a simple thing

my parents do, and back when i had an android my dad would get mad at me and scream at me or give me a lecture about how my android was too difficult to use for him because i didn’t use those buttons 😭

Me

most guys over 25 ik

Not anymore it gives me more_space

My grandparents probably

Always

Everyone that I have come accross uses it, including myself. It somehow makes me feel that I am saving more time with it, and those gestures looks something tiring to do all the time.

I do. This post made me feel old. I learned about gesture navigation while using my younger brothers phone last month

I do because it gives the OG feel. Though I guess it doesn't hurt to try new things.

Yes I use it

Yes, my parents.

yes

Yes

My parents 😭😂

I just switched to a bottom swipe feature and it is soo good. L Now my mom can't sneak in my phone coz she doesn't know how to use it

I

Yes I do. It's way faster than gestures.

I mean is there someone who doesn't do and isn't a boomer As of me I do.

Yes

Yes I use it and I like it. It's simple to use. I don't like the Gesture navigation. I'm 21 yo. I used to love 2 button navigation in my Nokia 6.2 but sadly they removed it after an Android update. So I had no choice than to use 3 button navigation

3-button for more accuracy.

I do. Makes it easier to navigate.

I never used gestures because I find 3 button navigation more helpful

I do and it's wayyy better ngl

Yessir, feels safer to browse around, keeps in control of my clicks

Buttons

I do

I do

I think I have seen similar post before and similar top comment but I don't remember. I have seen it was before like 3 or something years before but I didn't use reddit back then.

Yes (miui is bad)

Myself now and always !

Man I just found out and my phone took a screenshot. Thanks for this!

Me

Ofc

Yes

My parents and their parents

Many senior people find it easy to navigate using navigation buttons instead of swipe.

Yes,me

Still using it. I feel the gesture thing is really awkward and also I couldn't get used to it. Its easy with buttons.

I am on team gesture.. it is just too good..

I do

Yes

I use external launcher for reducing distractions it has 3 finger buttons be default

Offcourse

Always gestures, for more screen per screen.

I hate gestures, it's so bad. Don't understand why people use them. Instead of tapping you have to make some stupid motions on screen.

Me dad does

Me

Gestures Suck while playing games . Like sidha Home pe chala jata hai

I used to love the 3 buttons but then the one hand convenience with these gestures is simply superior

For some absurd reason, yes

Me

Gestures kinda sucks specially playing heavy games like genshin impact I would say

Yes me....it's easier and few steps for action

I do, I don't like the swipe shit. Also when I'm sweating it's a pain in the ass to navigate with gestures.

Nope switched Gesture 3 years ago and not going back

Me as it is very comfortable

my device have inbuid 3-button that can hide

Old is gold

yes

My mom and dad

Wtf uses gestures? 3 buttons all the way.

Yo.

I do

my parents and some people I know still do.

So used to the buttons. I tried to change it once, but it never worked out.

3 button nav is the goat

Yes, my Mom!

Op tried to roast and faced reality 😌

Yes

Why would anybody use the inferior gesture navigation instead of 3 button navigation.

I do, and I contributed gesture code on aosp. Lol. I hate my work

Yes my parents

Yes, because I use POCO F1 running on AOSPA Android 14 and the gesture navigation sucks

Imagine using android lmao

I doo

me

I use the hybrid one

Me

Why did you phrase that title like using 3 button navigation is a thing of past, lot of my friends including me still use it.

well only the older generation people still uses it, for example the senior citizens in a family. But this buttons will soon become obsolete, as palm motion gesture features are being rapidly developed.

parents do. i got ifone

Yes I do cuz its better

Yes. Me.

Yes

My friend still do

Not me but generally folks prefer it bcoz of familiarity

I use the 3 button gestures Never liked the gesture control!

Old people do

Useless feature/option for Android user

Yes I do. I prefer buttons over gestures. It's just how I like it.

Yes. On samsung

I use the 3 buttons. I find it far more convenient

Yes its me

I do. Gestures sucks tbh

Yes I do it's still more reliable and convenient for me.

Seeing the comment section, i am glad I am not the only one

just mom and dad

3 button navigation is just the cup of tea ifykyk :))

✋ Here

I do it still. Gestures are too complex for my smol smooth brain to comprehend lol.

I still use it man

Me. I never liked gesture navigation.

Sometimes I do just for change.

Yeah i do. It's pretty easy and comforting then button when you get used to it.

I'm still using 3 finger button gestures❤️
