This is 100% entirely application dependent and in no way guaranteed or obvious.

That was true for some time. Modern android phones don't have buttons down there anymore.
- saagarjha 8y agoI have a tendency to uninstall apps that break the back navigation swipe, because this usually means they ditched standard navigation elements for their custom thing that's flashy and likely broken.
- iamaelephant 8y agoI run a modern Android phone (Pixel 3) and it certainly does have a back button on the bottom.
- toast0 8y agoModern Android has a fake back button on the bottom. Thankfully, it's been a long time since I've seen one of 'those' apps or webpages that insists on pretending my phone is an iPhone and puts the back button way on top. Since I'm ranting anyway. I wish chrome on Android would put the address bar down at the bottom too, even Microsoft figured that one out. Also, since we know Android dropped buttons to save money for manufacturers, why can't we have some luxury phones with real buttons?
