When I heard the first time of Gesture Navigation, I could not understand that what it is and how it is something new. But as I realized it turned out to be incredible; every android device has three conventional buttons- home, scrolling back and overview of recently visited apps.
This gesture navigation would be in the shape of Pill, and it is moveable. The user can tap on it to go back to the home screen and also view the recently navigated apps by swiping and stopping.
Also, it lets the users open the app drawer by swiping more than the halfway and once held down, it activates the Google Assistant.
