Google is already working on the next Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 as we learned yesterday from an internal source. Now one of the generated bugs has been marked as fixed when updating old Pixels to the latest version of Android, precisely 15.
This version was rolled out to the new Pixel 9 like the rest of the older Pixels like the Pixel 8 series in mid-October. These types of updates allow you to benefit from current events and those new experiences who live their daily lives better with a smartphone, tablet or connected watch.
But everything doesn't always go well and with this deployment, users of old Pixels found themselves with a very strange bug: Swiping from the right side of the phone did not activate the back gesture, so the interaction experience failed badly with this update to Android 15.
Now the issue has been marked as corrected in Issue Trackingthe web space that Google uses to record all bugs or errors on its mobile devices and where you can consult the correction of errors.

Indeed, a Google employee said that the solution would be rolled out in an imminent new update of Pixel phones so that normal use of the phone can resume.
First reported on a Pixel 8 Pro so that it will soon be confirmed in other models by more users. The error affected gestures applied on both sides, not just the correct one, as it has now been confirmed as resolved. Issue Tracking.
And that's a pretty serious problem for the mobile gesture experience, as it prevented the ability to navigate backwards. The only solution that had been proposed so far was use the navigation bar with its three buttons, but we can almost say that it is an almost retro experience so much that moving with gestures is extremely simple.
The update with the return gesture fix will be deployed in Februaryfrom the first weeks, so that any of the old Pixels can be reused as has always been done with an error that can generate a lot of frustration depending on what it maintains GSMArene.
