Navigation Mode

Android navigation modes allow users to move between apps and screens using either Gesture navigation (swipes) or 3-button navigation (Home, Back, Recents).

These settings are typically found in Settings > Display > Navigation bar or Settings > System > Gestures.

Gesture mode offers a cleaner look, while buttons provide precise control.

Samsung defaults to Buttons. Pixel defaults to gestures. Had no idea this could be changed.
