If you're an Android user, which navigation mode do you prefer?

Navigation where? Like gps/glonass? Also what is 2 button? Some droids dont have buttons and you have to swipe your way to the goal.

Traditionally, Android phones had three onscreen buttons at the bottom: Back (triangle), Home (circle) and App Overview (square).

They chose to replace those with gestures, but there was a transitional phase where there were two buttons: Back and Home.

Initially, button-navigation was the default, but you could select gesture-navigation as an option.

I tried to get used to the gestures, but I found it difficult to use them, so I switched back to button-navigation.

So many interesting things to learn ©️

I have an e-book on Android, and there are no such buttons there in principle. In my projects, I only use gestures.

Strictly speaking, the Android version with gesture support was developed by my partner.

3 button navigation all the way. I don't even know what the gesture equivalent of the triangle is 😃
Plus you can add an fourth button for accessibility seettings, or in my case I added a button to let me quickly change the input method (as in change between different installed keyboards, not just layouts, though that is admittedly a pretty unsual use case.)
