No back button???

This is a bit of a personal gripe, I’ll admit. Most iPhone users I know have been using iPhones for a long, long time. They don’t know any other way. One thing Apple phone fans are missing out on is a simple “back” button or gesture.

You know how you go “back” on your web browser? That’s a function I want to use all the time on my phone, whether it’s in a browser or moving through screens in a particular app. On Google Pixels, you can do this by swiping to the right from the edge of your screen, no matter what app you’re using. Some Android phones even have a dedicated button for this. It’s very useful. On iPhones, every app does it differently, and in some apps you can’t go “back” at all. Why? WHY?
