So, at first it’s going to sound pretty weird. For months my gesture navigation has been finicky and not working properly for 4 out of 10 times, especially the bottom swipe to home. It gets even worse when hiding the navigation bar.
Today for a different reason I turned off the pocket mode and suddenly the gesture navigation is back to being extremely good like in other brands. I don’t know what the co-relation is, but hey it works! And fixed a huge issue for me. Posting it here because, if someone else is having this problem, let this be your fix.
PS : I have tried feedback, emailing, reddit post, community post, restart, reset, clear caches, updating etc for the same issue,only this worked. Using an NP2 btw.
