If you remember when using the Android 9 gestures, the back button comes and goes, if the user wants to go back a page, the button appears and if it is not needed it doesn’t.

Google revamped the Android navigation scheme with gestures in Android Pie. A new version of Android Q obtained by XDA unveils that in the next Android, the pill is there for home but also multitasking is a swipe up.   A gesture is used to left swipe the pill if the user wants to go back and back button can be removed and replaced and right to view the previously active app.

  • Tap pill to go “Home”
  • Long press on the pill opens Google Assistant
  • Short swipe up of the pill will take you to recent apps/multitasking
  • Long swipe up of the pill will open the app drawer
  • Slide pill to the right will allow you to view your recent apps
