Most Android phones have fixed shortcuts for double-tapping the Home button. But with this workaround, you can make it go wherever you like.

Android's tried-and-true 3-button navigation system is still available on modern phones and tablets running the OS, and I hope it stays that way.

You can get the three-button navigation bar back on Android by opening Settings and selecting 3-button Navigation under system display options.

While Android manufacturers had switched away from physical home buttons long before Apple, the line of virtual navigation buttons still consumed nearly a centimeter of the display.

Android's home button and back button aren't going away Android P beta uses an upward swipe to get to your open apps and the app tray, but it isn't giving the home or back buttons the heave-ho.

Google may be saving some design changes in Android N for the final developer preview, or even the official release.

You still have to tap the Home button to return to the home screen, and more importantly, the Back button is still invaluable inside Android apps.
