I’m looking for some advice, recently my pixel 6a and a pixel 8a both have the same annoying behaviour, periodically the three bottom buttons stop working or lag to an extreme degree, so the back button, home button and app switcher.

I suspect it’s related to 3rd party launchers, I use Action Launcher but was able to replicate it on Lawnchair as well.

I’ve currently got the default Pixel/Nexus launcher selected as a test (I hate it), so far it seems to be immune from this issue. Are 3rd party launchers all suffering from the same issue? Anything I can do?

    I’m on a pixel 9 now and still have problems, it’s inherent to Android. They are less on this phone, but the 3 buttons are longer part of Google vision for how to use our phones. They are going the Apple direction.

      Ah yeah you may be right there, gesture nav has been a thing for so long, the 3 buttons just work (when they work!)
