In this article, we'll explain where to find the back button on the Pixel 4a and how to change how the back button works to make it as easy as possible for you.
Google Pixel 4a – Add and switch navigation bar buttons via gesture control (Back, Home, App Drawer)
If it’s not clear how to go back on your phone, it’s probably because you have gesture navigation enabled. Since the Pixel 4a doesn’t have physical navigation buttons, the only alternative to the swipe gesture to go to a previous screen is a virtual back button, which is much easier to recognize.
A setting on your phone determines whether there is a button or whether you have to use a gesture. Below we will learn how to choose between the two.
Since there are two ways to roll back on this phone, there are two separate directions. If you're not sure which method is enabled, try both, or skip down to the section further down this page to see where in your phone's settings you can find which one is selected.
