It makes large-screen smartphones easier to use with one hand.
It is especially convenient for people who use 3-button navigation.
Even if you switch from gesture navigation to 3-button navigation, you can still use an edge swipe for "Back" with this app.

With 3-button navigation, it can be difficult to reach a button on the opposite side of the bottom navigation bar.
With Edge Swipe Back & Lock, you can open "Recent apps" with your left hand or use "Back" with your right hand by swiping from the edge of the screen.

You can finely adjust the gesture start area, activation distance, cancel distance, and other settings to match your device and the way you hold it.
Because the ease of swiping can also vary depending on your smartphone case, you can fine-tune the settings to suit your own setup.

You can also lock the screen at any time with a one-handed swipe.
This can reduce how often you need to press the power button.

【Recommended settings (default)】

Left: Top 10% Screenshot / Middle 80% Back / Bottom 10% Recent apps
Right: Top 10% Screenshot / Middle 80% Back / Bottom 10% Notifications
Bottom: Left 12% Lock screen / Center 76% Disabled / Right 12% Lock screen

You can freely change these settings to suit how you use your device.

【Main features】

・Assign actions to swipes from the left edge, right edge, and bottom edge
・Divide each screen edge into three sections and assign a different action to each section
・Finely adjust the area and position where swipes are accepted
・Finely adjust the activation distance and cancel distance
・Visual feedback that shows the current swipe state
・Option to disable the bottom swipe area while an app is in full-screen mode
・Designed to be lightweight and power-efficient

【Cancel feature to reduce accidental actions】

Even after you start swiping, no action is performed until you lift your finger.
If you move your finger back toward the starting position during the swipe, you can cancel the action.

This helps reduce accidental actions while still allowing quick operation from the edge of the screen.

【Ads and pricing】

The free version displays a banner ad at the top of the screen.
There are no interruptive ads that suddenly appear while you are using the app.

By choosing to watch a rewarded ad, you can add more usage time or unlock additional features.
You can also add one day of usage time once per day without watching an ad.

A one-time-purchase Pro version is also available, which removes all usage-time and feature restrictions.

【Accessibility Service】

The Accessibility Service is used only for the purpose of performing these actions. This app does not collect, store, or transmit externally any text entered by the user, passwords, screen content, or other such information through the Accessibility Service. ## Rankings - #2,429,102 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.edgeswipeback.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Swipe Back - Edge Gesture](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.swipetoback.gestureapp) — 258,432 users, 3.50 / 5 - [Edge Gestures](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ss.edgegestures) — 83,039 users, 4.20 / 5 - [Edge Gesture Controls](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jba.edgegesture) — 96,292 users, 2.60 / 5 - [Swipe Back Full Screen Gesture](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.controlcenter.swip_to_back) — 559,831 users, 4.12 / 5 - [Edgify: Edge Gesture & Control](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.unitbyte.tech.edgifygesturecontrol) — 1,830 users - [One Swipe - Edge Gestures](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.oneswipe) — 4,150 users - [Swipe Back Full Screen Gesture](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.controlcenter.swip_to_turn_on_off) — 39,869 users - [Edge Screen Assistive Touch](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.nzt.edgescreenapps.trial) — 62,480 users, 3.75 / 5 - [Full Screen Gestures](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.agooday.fullscreengestures) — 2,206,964 users, 3.85 / 5 - [Edge Screen Assistive Touch PR](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.nzt.edgescreenapps.pro) — 220 users - [Swoosh](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.expxlabs.swoosh) — 22 users - [Edge Maestro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.edgemaestro) — 11 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.edgeswipeback.app)
