Questions specific to gestures..."back"
-
This has been discussed before I've discovered many years ago (tech time == decades ago!).
The thing that is slowing me down the most while using the UI / UX is the notion of "back". Since this can have several meanings, let me narrow it down to a specific case:
If the app presents a "back button" (usually represented as "<" on the top left of the screen), it would be nice to have a one-handed gesture that activates that button. Reasoning is that on the taller phones, a one-handed reach to that button is nigh impossible.
I've searched to see if such a thing is implemented, and all I've come up with is that "there is no concept" of "back" on UT. I guess what I'm saying is that the "<" button would like to disagree.
Thanks for reading!

@undrwater It's called having two hands. It's like a browser, Chrome's back button is hidden so you have to have two hands to use it. I think that would come under "nice to have" so it would be way down in the priorities of development unless the app developer decides to do so. For one handed gestures, large screen phones and tablets have their limitations.

@undrwater I think a gesture wouldn't be nice. No idea the best way to properly integrate it from a UX perspective. Maybe just borrow the side screen background gesture from Android?
