I don’t and I wish I had known about them when they were still a thing.
What other forgotten accessory or innovation in Android history do you wish had taken off or would come back?

Plus, honestly, there’s not as much benefit as there used to be. I used to root so I could install that app that red-tinted the display. That’s been built into stock Android for a while now. I also liked making the navigation buttons smaller and trying different gesture systems, but imo stock Android gestures leave everything else I tried in the dust. Theming? I only ever used OLED themes, and most Android phones and applications have an option for that now. One by one over the last few years almost every justification I had for rooting was rendered moot. Then Android phones started doing that a/b partition thing and it was just too much of a pita for not much benefit
Google removed a lot of tasker functionality with the recent versions. Can’t even toggle wifi with an unrooted device anymore
I switched to iOS a while ago so I’m able to keep my Android phone on an old crusty version of Android that still does what I want. Plus it’s rooted so I can really do whatever. “This app won’t run on future versions of Android” won’t apply if you never update *taps head*
I like the gestures but the app edge gestures just does it better and it is fully customizable. I can’t even use a phone without it now. It’s super intuitive plus I have gestures to call or text certain people, open apps, flashlight etc… check it out if you haven’t it’s tits

There’s also [One Hand Operation +] (https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/com.samsung.android.sidegesturepad) for Galaxy users.
That’s pretty similar to edge gestures but I don’t have a galaxy so haven’t tried it. Thanks for sharing!
