This will action the "back" action on whatever screen you're on, so that might be back in the browser, back in Instagram or back to the home screen if there's no where else to go back to.Ĭhange the sensitivity of gesture navigation: If you find things happen too easily by mistake, or not easily enough, then try changing the sensitivity of gestures. Go back: A staple of Android navigation, with no back button, you can now swipe in from the left or right. It now works left or right so you can easily skip back and forth between apps as much as you want. That was replaced with a swipe on the home lozenge in Pie, and now it's just a swipe across the bottom of the display. Quickly switch apps: In Android Oreo and previous, a double tap on the recent apps button would switch between the current app and the previous app. If you're in an app and you want to access the apps tray, you'll have to use a slower swipe, enter Overview and then swipe up. In fact, it's the same swipe as used to return to the home screen. How to open the apps tray: Yes, it's still a swipe up from the bottom of the display, but with Overview in the mix, you'll need a faster swipe. That just clears everything out of the way and take you back to your wallpaper. Go back to the home screen: You can return how with a quick swipe up from the bottom.

You can then scroll horizontally through your apps. A slow swipe from the bottom about 1 cm/half an inch will see the display pop and your recent apps in cards will appear on the left.

How to access Overview: This has been refined since Android Pie.
