I'm a huge fan of swipe gestures on my smartphone. Whether they're used for navigating the operating system as introduced in Android 10 or for quickly performing tasks in apps like Gmail or Twitter, they're great for triaging messages and notifications that you don't want or need to dwell on. Swipe gestures are also useful if you like to use your phone one-handed, as I do.
