"Awful gesture nav" is the reason I'm holding off on installing #AndroidP on my Pixel 2. Thanks for putting that in the headline, @arstechnica. I wonder about devices with Samsung-style front home button / fingerprint sensor. You usually also have the bottom bar for back & apps.https://twitter.com/arstechnica/status/998622041099161600 …
You can still access split screen, but the gesture has moved. Swipe up to get the horizontal list of open apps, then long-press on the app icon at the top of the scaled down app window - you'll get a menu that includes split screen - then choose the second app to open.
