On a mobile device, since the swipe from left side to access the menu was removed. It is a pain to get to the menu.
When you are deep inside some entity history or similar, it takes endless back presses to be able to acces the menu button ?
I don’t think the swipe from left has been removed. It’s just broken thus sometimes work and sometimes doesn’t. you have to try the gesture from different locations on left screen edge. At least in iOS
You’re a happy man. The app had at least two issues reported and eventually fixed.
But the slide from the left gesture is still not 100% reliable. At the moment I cannot find the answer I’ve received from one of the maintainers, that it might require rewriting the menu to ios-native.
But indeed, having the entity info popup opened, it’s extremely hard to pull this left menu. Almost impossible, but I succeeded in doing it before writing the post. Maybe it depends on the location where the info is opened.
I am pretty sure it was mentioned at some point that that gesture was removed. Anyway I can trigger it reliably on GMail, not in HA anymore (already for a long time)
Three fingers down does not work for me. I have never read anything about a swipe from left. Anyway I don’t gestures except pinch zoom, so I would forget about it very soon.
I found an issue about the gesture. Apparently it was removed and reimplemented for iOS, but not for Android. Did not read the whole thread yet for why that is.
Could be because the gesture is harder to execute now with the newish Android 10(?) gesture navigation.
Anyway I did learn there is a custom card to restore it so will give that a go.
