Not an elderly or disabled person, I probably even fit some people's definition of a touch screen wizard since I regularly use swiping keyboards without looking, but I really can't be bothered with those weird slidey gestures between apps on iOS or Android. At least on Android I can switch to regular (configurable!) bottom buttons.

Gods I miss having real customizable gestures on Android. It took me years to unlearn my gesture set, especially "double tap with three fingers" to close the current app and go home.

I used to use xposed edge to configure the crap out my gestures, it was great. Now that xposed isn't really a thing anymore, I followed the rest of the world and use my phone with two hands most of the time and use my index finger for the top of the screen with one hand.

Not terribly hard at my age, but why do I have to?

In principle, I like for example the four-finger sliding gesture to switch apps on the iPad, but it’s implemented in a way that makes it very easy to accidentally swipe to the second-next app instead of to the next app. Similarly, there’s a gesture for Speak Screen where you swipe down from the top with two fingers, but it regularly takes me more than three attempts before it doesn’t instead swipe down the lock screen or the control center. I honestly don’t understand how they think this is fine.
