For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    I miss the home phisical button and back/menu touch ‘button’ on tablet and phones. Having to swipe down from the top, then press the right symbol at the bottom before they disappear again is a mess.

      Definitely try the “swipe” navigation. I had no idea the other (old?) navigation scheme existed as it has probably been a decade now. I vaguely remember one of my old phones introducing it, and that was the end of the buttons on the bottom. Did the non-stock versions of Android not do that?

      I still miss buttons, but with how tall/wide the screens are, the question is where do you put them. I really need to try and get a smaller phone once this one dies…

      just use swipe navigation, there’s a great great reason there’s no need for buttons and you’re just ignoring it

        Swiping doesn’t feel as positive and tactile to me as hardware buttons did.
