Fix coming for broken swipe back on Pixel 8 Pro with Android 15
After the Android 15 update, many Pixel 8 Pro users noticed that the swipe-back gesture wasn’t working right. This gesture, where you swipe from the edge of the screen to go back, failed especially when swiping from the right side.
This problem made the phone hard to use for some people. The update brought new features, but this bug was a big headache. Until now, there hasn’t been a way to fix it.
Good news is on the way though. Google has promised a fix in one of their next updates. They didn’t say exactly which update or when it will come out, but it’s likely to be in the February security patch. These patches usually fix small issues like this one.
The Pixel 8 Pro gets these updates every month, so owners should see their swipe-back gesture working again soon. Keep an eye out for that update to make your phone easier to use again.
