Yeah this is what I do. I tried gestures but I really prefer the buttons.

There's two of us! Really the minority in this thread. For me there was no guide so i was extremely confused at first. Then I found it interfered with one of my most used apps that featured similar gestures so I turned it off and never went back.

I'm still using buttons too. I never understood why people would want universal gestures for back and home while using apps that are also controlled by gestures. Just give me the dedicated buttons.

My phone offers gestures but not by default and I've got zero interest. I'm really glad it's an option and I hate all the companies that think they know better than all their users and force their visions on them.

Yeah, totally this! Also, I'm just super uncoordinated and I was constantly swiping in slightly the wrong direction so it never did what I wanted it to do. You know where you stand with a button 😆

Just stick with the gestures for a week or so. You'll get used to it. Wouldn't want to go back to the button row anymore.

I've tried, it's not for me, I'm always accidentally swiping.

Same for me, I think there are a lot of us 😀

I just haven't been able to get use to gestures instead of the buttons.
