About the popularity of 2 button navigation - eviltoast

Ever since its appearance in Android Pie, I always consider 2 button navigation is a bad attempt by Google trying to play catch-up with the fad generated by the iPhone X. However, due to a bug with A13 QPR2 it had to be temporarily removed and many were not happy about this. So, 2 button navigation users, may I ask why do you prefer this method? To me it makes you do more for the same action whilst doesn’t save any screen space.

    Agreed! I’ve thought this for a while. It’s crazy that iPhone still doesn’t have a back button, and it blows me away that neither iOS nor Android have undo or redo.

      Ios kinda does have undo via a shake but you could also say it’s not discoverable, slow and awkward. No idea if Android has anything system and not app-lvl though.
