- Some Pixel 8 Pro users are reporting issues with the swipe gesture to go back, after updating to Android 15.
- You can fix the issue by toggling gesture navigation off and on again, and rebooting your device.
Google rolled out Android 15 to Pixel devices a few days ago. While the update is exciting and offers plenty of new features for everyone to look forward to, some users are not having the best experience with it. Pixel 8 Pro users are reporting that the new update has practically broken the swipe-back gesture from the right edge of their phone. Thankfully, there also seems to be a fix available for it.
Redditor vastateofmind pointed out that they started facing issues with the swipe-back gesture on their Pixel 8 Pro. Curiously, they faced issues only when swiping inwards from the right edge of their phone, but not from the left edge. The user is using a tempered glass screen protector, but they have the touch sensitivity setting turned on. Irrespective, the same combination worked flawlessly on Android 14, but they’re now facing issues with the new platform update.
