Next major Android OS version is dropping ‘back’ button

Google seems all set to introduce its Android Q operating system for smartphones at its upcoming Google I/O 2019 conference. Although none of the features has been confirmed by the company, XDA Developers has been digging around and has found some of the features that could come in the next major OS version. The latest in the list is the ‘new’ navigation buttons that are found at the bottom of the screen. The updated navigation bar is now said to make wider users of the pill shape button that one can see in the Pixel 3 smartphones.
The current pill shape button eliminates the multi-window button found in the previous Android OS version. Now, Google is planning to ditch the ‘back button’. As found by the XDA website, the new gesture navigation bar may fully adopt the pill-shape button, letting people use it for going one page back.
