Google Fixing Annoying Back Gesture Bug on Pixel Phones

Several Pixel users have reported issues with the back gesture since installing the Android 15 update. The bug causes inconsistencies when swiping inward from the right edge of the screen, making it frustrating to navigate back to the previous screen.

The Issue and Temporary Workarounds

The Android 15 update brought exciting new features to Pixel devices but also introduced this pesky bug. While some users managed to find temporary solutions such as switching to three-button navigation, rebooting their phones, or adjusting gesture sensitivity, the issue persisted for most.

Google’s Response and Fix Timeline

Thankfully, Google has identified and addressed the issue. According to the bug’s IssueTracker entry (via PiunikaWeb), the status is now marked as “Fixed.” A recent comment from a Googler confirms that the fix will roll out in an upcoming release.

Unfortunately, the entry doesn’t specify the root cause of the bug, so it’s unclear what exactly triggered the malfunction. More details are expected to be shared when the update is officially rolled out.

What’s Next?

Once the fix is live, Google is likely to release additional information about the issue. We’ll update this post with further details as they become available. For now, Pixel users can look forward to smoother navigation soon.
