Android Studio, the integrated development environment (IDE) for Android app developers, is getting an AI upgrade, Google announced at its developer conference, Google I/O 2025.

Samsung is one of the last button nav holdouts — most other Android OEMs, like Motorola and OnePlus, joined Google in effectively defaulting to swipe-based gesture navigation years ago.

Google has finally fixed the Pixel's highly reported unresponsive button issue with the latest August 2025 security patch.

One bug makes the back gesture unresponsive, while another temporarily breaks the 3-button navigation for no clear reason, frustrating Pixel users.

Samsung may adopt gesture navigation as the default in One UI 8.5, aligning with Android 16’s full-screen focus.

Google’s August Pixel update for devices running Android 16 includes a fix for the three-button navigation and gesture navigation systems becoming unresponsive.
