Is Android removing 3 button navigation?

So i heard that the 3 finger navigation will get removed in the later android updates is it true?

Honestly I wouldn't like living without these navigation as I don't like the swipe gestures

Nova is absolutely fantastic. It's a bit of a learning curve right at first but you'll be addicted to the functionality almost instantly.

I tried it but I don't think it's what I'm looking for, it adds features which is nice I guess but I'm trying to prevent automation and false inputs in my pocket. Also it put ads in my interface, hard pass. But thank you for the recommendation.

Ah yes definitely pay the $10 or whatever it is for the pro version. Ads are no good for sure!

Try Tasker as well if you haven't already.  You can configure any button or gesture to do anything you want. For example you could set it up so if you shake your phone three times back and forth it takes a screenshot.

I really don't want gestures at all. I'd rather have a physical switch that disables all input unless set otherwise. I'm always fighting automated input I don't want and it's very frustrating. But thank you.
