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.
This is an Android gesture. You could try disabling gestures in your phone settings.
Huh, I found the settings you’re referring to and I’m on Button Mode.
I have tried the swipe gesture on other apps and it doesn’t close them. I’m not sure why Sync is different.
You are right, I’ve experienced the same thing. I’ve tried disabling all Sync settings relating to swipe actions and even enabled the setting to open the drawer instead of exiting when hitting the Android back button. No other apps have this gesture, and I’ve verified this is not an Android/Samsung setting. This seems like a big.
That’s the same for every app. It’s nothing sync does
No, that’s not true. Note that he’s not talking about hitting back, rather swiping up from the Android back button. All other apps ignore this gesture. The gesture itself is different from what happens if you hit the back button in Sync.
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.

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
But when I opened other apps and tried the same swipe, nothing happened. Is os a phone setting of some kind that you’re referring to?
@ljdawson@lemmy.world would you be able to confirm if this is Sync-specific functionality, and if it is intended please? Thanks!
Hope I tagged right. Is there any information about this? It isn’t a huge deal, but still an inconvenience.
What device are you using? I can’t reproduce this on a Samsung (fold 2).
Post your debug info. It’s on the far right of the bar with all the text options when you’re posting a reply. Bug icon.
Here’s the device information produced from that button.
Sync version: v23.09.13-18:19 Sync flavor: googlePlay View type: Slides Push enabled: false Device: starqltesq Model: samsung SM-G960U Android: 10
