    1. Android gesture navigation replaces the system back button with a swipe from the edge of the screen. This in itself causes an issue with apps that (since long before gesture navigation was introduced to Android) use an edge swipe gesture to activate an in-app feature. The first app that comes to mind as an example is Termux. Swiping in from the edge of the screen opens the side menu in the app. But with gesture navigation enabled, this same edge gesture instead triggers the system back button, closing the app. I have seen some third party Android skins offer an option to only trigger the back gesture when swiping from the bottom 50% of a side edge. In the case of Termux, swiping from the top 50% would then open the menu as expected. Alas, GrapheneOS does not have this option.
    2. Aside from this intrinsic issue, I also experience bugs in certain apps that are resolved by switching to 3-button navigation. From what I can tell, this might be fixed by these apps implementing newer/different Android APIs or something. I don’t know. I’m not an Android developer.
    3. Even with the previous issues resolved, system gesture navigation is all about swiping from the edge of the screen. What I want (and Thunder provides) is the ability to swipe from anywhere onscreen in order to go back. Sort of like swiping away a card. This is a behaviour that is only implemented at the app level.

    Are you referring to the Android system navigation mode (Settings app > System > Gestures > Navigation mode)? I use 3-button navigation, because setting that to gesture navigation just causes too many problems in various apps.

    But aside from that, my current Lemmy app, Thunder, allows me to swipe from anywhere onscreen to navigate back. Not just from the edge. Which is much better for accessibility purposes.








  • Yeah, I cannot find it documented anywhere. Which is probably on purpose, to avoid malicious actors finding out ways to bypass it. But you can find plenty of users on Reddit and whatnot complaining about how they are not getting registration emails for whatever services in their new Proton email accounts, then it suddenly works just fine when they try again ten days later.


  • Is your Proton account new? I believe Proton automatically filters out verification emails like that until the account reaches a certain age. As a means of restricting users from creating an anonymous throwaway Proton account to use just to sign up for another service to abuse it. Verification emails will not appear in your spam/junk/deleted folder or anything. You will just not receive them in any way at all. I am not sure how many days it takes for that restriction to be automatically lifted.
