Is it possible to move the three buttons at the bottom to the side?

Submitted ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨blackn1ght@feddit.uk⁩ to ⁨askandroid@lemdro.id⁩

I’m talking about the back, home and app switcher buttons. I’ve just bought a Google Pixel Pro 9 but something that’s really bugging me is that I can barely reach the back button, I keep accidentally pressing the home button. When I hold my phone in my right hand, my thumb only covers half way across and half way up.

Is there a way to either change the order the buttons are in, or move them all to the side? For some reason I never had this problem on my One Plus 6T even though it’s got a slightly larger display.

only advice i can think to offer is to try the gesture navigation. it’s not what you’re asking for, but it’s different from what’s not working for you, and maybe it will work for you

  I’ve just given it a go but unfortunately that’s even worse, as I need to reach the very left of the screen. Cheers for the advice though!

    hmmm… that’s odd. the edges of both the left and right side of the screen do the same thing on my pixel 8

You would be looking for the Navigation Mode setting. The other option is for gesture navigation, which can take some getting used to but is superior in my opinion, and gets you a little more screen real estate back as well.
