A renewed experience

It seems incredible that we are going to launch a new experience of a gesture that is usually used at all hours: you are in an application, you go back and go where you were before.

And easy-to-renew mechanism With this predictive gesture that already in Android 13 it was possible to test with some applications, although with Android 14 Developer Preview 1 it reappears.

At the moment you have to activate the developer options from the settings and from a “flag”, although it will arrive in one of the next betas to be one of the best innovations of Google on Android.

This predictive return gesture is designed to give users a before where they will end ending if they use the same. In other words, this overview will contain one of three pages that can be visited by the user. They include previous in same app, previous app and mobile home screen.

To better understand how it works, in Android 13 the only thing this gesture could show users would be to return to the home screen.

Google will force it

Lo más interesante de todo, tal como se clama desde XDA, via Phone Arena, is that Google has advised you of the desarrolladores de que la navegación hacia atrás en sus aplicaciones no funcionará if no dan soporte a este gesto predictivo cuando la gran G fuerce its use.

This gesture will be one of the biggest protagonists of Android 14

He explains it with an image where you can see that if we make a slow backward gesture from the left or right part of the screen, the page that is displayed will decrease in size to see what’s behind.

SO it will be perfectly visible “where” we will go when we release our finger to navigate to the previous one and avoid us closing an application in the wrong direction or simply returning to an application that does not interest us because of its sensitive content.

March will be the month indicated for the launch of Android 14 Developer Preview 2 and the beta program will be present from April to July, so in these betas this new predictive gesture can be tested and developers will have enough time to provide support or what has been said will happen.
