Android 9 Pie Overview and Gestures: How to get started and master the new navigation

For the first time since we met the navigation bar, Android has a whole new way to get around. Android 9 Pie introduces a new series of gestures designed specifically for navigation, and they bring some wholesale changes to the way we launch, switch, and quit apps. Here's how to get started and master the new system: When you install Android Pie on your phone, your navigation bar will look the same as it always has, with a back, home, and overview button at the bottom go the screen. That's because the new system is optional, at least for now. To try Gestures out, you need to turn it on.
