I have a small annoyance in Sync for Lemmy that I hope you can help me with. Swiping up from the very bottom of the screen closes the app and I lose my place in my posts upon re-opening Sync

Swiping up to scroll the posts is great, but if I accidentally start a swipe too low, the app closes.

Is there an option in settings I missed?

Thanks in advance.

    Wien I swipe up from the bottom of my screen, every app makes this animation where it is being minimized into the app icon on the screen. Not just sync

      Oh, very interesting, and this is when you swipe on the back button, i.e. the left of the screen? Which OS/device do you have, out of curiosity?

      For me on Android 12 on S10e, no other apps display this behaviour.

        I have the pixel 5 with, now Android 14, but the behavior exists since I have the phone.

        I am not sure what you mean with back button, as there are no buttons on my screen. I go back by sweeping from the side. As OP now mentioned, they have still the button navigation, so the swipe navigation probably should not be activated for them.

        When I swipe up slowly, I see all open apps. When I do it fast, I come back to the home screen.

          As OP now mentioned, they have still the button navigation, so the swipe navigation probably should not be activated for them.

          That’s precisely the problem. OP and I have the same setup, and Sync is incorrectly responding to the swipe.

          When I swipe up slowly, I see all open apps. When I do it fast, I come back to the home screen.

          This doesn’t seem related to what’s being discussed here, that’s the Android task manager, which in OP and my case is the button on the right (the three bars).

            No, the task manager appears, when I swipe up and hold. When I just swipe up, I come back to the home screen. Which is like the home button
