Exciting news for Pixel users!

After the much-anticipated Android 15 rollout in October, many Pixel phone owners faced an unexpected bug: the back gesture was malfunctioning. Users reported that swiping inward from the right side of the screen failed to trigger the back navigation, effectively hindering their usage experience.

This issue first caught the attention of a Pixel 8 Pro owner, who quickly shared their frustration online, sparking a wave of confirmations from other users across various Pixel models. It turns out the bug wasn’t isolated to just one side; several users experienced it with swipes coming from both sides of the display.

But wait, there's good news!

Google has noted that they've marked this frustrating bug as “Fixed” on their Issue Tracker, and according to a Google employee, a solution is on the way. The fix is set to roll out in the upcoming release, likely during the next monthly update scheduled for early February.

While some users have turned to temporary workarounds, such as switching to three-button navigation, many agree that it's less than ideal. The anticipation is building for the official update that will restore seamless back navigation, emphasizing Google’s commitment to addressing user concerns quickly.

Stay Tuned!
