The gesture changes affected apps directly. Google set “a 200dp vertical app exclusion limit for the Back gesture”, which caps how much of the screen edge an app can claim for its own gestures. Users got a sensitivity setting for the Back gesture. The developer option that turned off the block on background activity starts was removed. 9to5Google also noticed the gesture bar was now hidden on the home screen.
Google’s last request was the same as since Beta 4: test the current app on Android Q and publish the compatible update before the consumer release.
