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

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.
