How To Enable Two Button Navigation In Android 12

However, there was one feature present in Android 9 but has since been removed from the OS. Yes, we are talking about the two-button navigation gestures. As of now, you only get two gesture styles- swipe navigations and 3 button navigation styles. While the reason behind the removal of the two-button navigation gestures from Android 12 is anyone’s guess, fortunately, there does exist a nifty workaround through which you could enable it back on. And this guide shall show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.

There’s only one prerequisite that your device needs to checkmark- it needs to be rooted. If you haven’t done so, then you may refer to our below guides. Once your device is rooted, you may then proceed with the instruction steps that follow:
