Let’s have a chat with the AC forums.
When Android 10 was released to the public on September 3, 2019, it brought a ton of new features with it. Google added a long-awaited dark mode, revamped settings for app permissions, and brand-new fully gestural navigation.

It’s nice to have the buttons available though while you figure it out and decide what…
