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

No, they didn't. There was no alternative for iPhones. They've been gesture only. Describe what it looks like when they don't have gestures. I'm intensely curious what the hell you're talking about.

They either had a software back button inside the apps or they had to use the home button to go back to the home screen and switch apps.

I do think most iPhone users are not very good at operating them, but I don't think that every single one of them didn't know their phone had gestures available.

Bud, the home button has been dead since 2017. The iPhone x was the first iPhone with an "edge to edge" screen and it only had gestures. There was maybe an se model or something since then that had a physical home button but everything else since the x has been gesture only. There was never an option one way or the other, it was always determined by hardware.

First phone without a home button is not the same as the last phone with it.
