  they already have that (the Back button), guess how effective it is

  I guess iphones don’t have it but nobody uses those anyway :P

    I mean like a dedicated physical hardware button, to go alongside the power and volume buttons.

      How would that be better than a soft-button or gesture that’s always available? (I use gestures, and it’s always possible to swipe from the side to go Back)

        Cuz that’s software side, and they can always reprogram that as a future forced update.

        Hell, I just got fucked over on a new phone by the manufacturer because they decided to force a home screen launcher update on me, without my permission, and without even informing me.

        And yes, I disabled automatic updates as far as I knew. Still they janked me, and even a factory reset won’t remove this new fucked up DDU Launcher home screen.

        I’m about to sling that phone into a brick wall, because they backdoored their version of Android.

        Sooo… Why would I trust a software solution to a physical, legally required physical exit button?
