Android and iOS are the two juggernaut platforms in the mobile world and they both are develop and feature-rich operating systems. Thus, clearly, both platforms pack in their own unique features. We have utilized both Android cell phones and the iPhone widely and if there’s one thing we truly adore on the iPhone is the global (mostly) swipe-back gesture. While Android fans might argue that the back button on Google’s platform is very simple to reach, dissimilar in iOS. Yet, believe it when we say that a gesture really makes up for an extraordinary user experience.

Along these lines, if you like the iPhone’s back gesture or you recently moved from an iPhone to Android and need the global swipe-back gesture on your gadget, we have got you covered. You can utilize the All in one gestures application accessible for free (with in-application purchase to remove advertisements) on the Play Store to get iPhone’s back gesture on Android. Additionally, it’s important to note that the application works on non-rooted devices too. Along these lines, here’s how to get the iPhone’s back gesture on Android with the All in one gestures application:

• Firstly, you will have to install the All in one gestures app from the Google Play Store. After you have installed the app, open it and you will be welcomed with the app’s latest changelog. Tap “Close”. Then, you will see the home page of the app with three tabs: Hard Keys, Swipe, Status bar. Turn on the “Enable” option in the “Swipe” tab.

• After you have enabled the swipe gestures. Tap on the “Left Area” option and select the action “Back“.

• The app will then prompt you to enable the app in Settings->Accessibility. Just tap on the prompt at the bottom and enable the All in one gestures app.

• Once done, you will see a slight black shade on the left edge of the screen (as you can see in our screenshots) suggesting you that you can swipe to go back. You can then start swiping from the left edge of the display to go back, like you would on an iPhone.

The good news is, the back gesture works on almost all the apps and almost anywhere across the Android UI, unlike the iPhone. While it works like a charm, whenever you swipe back through the gesture, you will see a message at the bottom saying “Back”, which might bother some people. However, we think the message isn’t a deal breaker, as it does not hinder the experience.

Note: The swipe-back gesture from the left edge might not go well with the Android UI and its apps, considering there are apps that feature a navigation menu available through a swipe from the left edge. So, you can even choose to select the swipe-back gesture to be available from the right edge for a better user experience.

While All in one gestures brings you the iPhone-like back swipe, it packs in a plethora of additional features. The application gives you to enable gestures for the various edges of the display as well as corners. You can set different responses like actions, launch different apps or shortcuts through different swipe gestures. Moreover, you can even set responses for hard keys and status bar. To sum things up, you are going to thank us for introducing you to the All in one gestures application.

Now use the swipe-back gesture on Android

You might have noticed that while the All in one gestures app does bring the iPhone’s back gesture, it offers much more. While there are other apps like GMD Gestures, which brings similar features, it only works on rooted devices. Also, if you have a rooted device, you can use the SwipeBack Xposed module to implement the gesture system-wide. So, if you consider everything, the All in one gestures apps is your best bet and we are sure it won’t disappoint you. Chances are, after you have used the app, you won’t be missing your iPhone anymore.
