  • I’m not using two-button navigation but there was one nice thing it did in Android 9: you could flip the pill to the right and hold it to scroll through open apps until you’ve reached the app you wanted to switch to (or move your finger left/right to scroll in that direction), and only then lift the finger.

    Unfortunately that only worked in Android 9. In Android 10 you could only swipe to the very next app. Not sure why they butchered that carousel navigation; probably to bring it in line with full gesture navigation.




  • It’s a relatively new feature that is slowly rolling out to other languages/regions. I received it maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago (in Germany).

    I don’t think there’s a definitive list of words/phrases that trigger it. It usually works with one or two words (for example “happy birthday!”) followed by an exclamation mark. Could be pretty much anything. It even works with “Batman!” Although the result is … well, not appropriate for the Dark Knight. 😄
