Android 16’s smartest new feature has a frustrating catch you’ll notice immediately

Swiping from the left or right edges on my Pixel 9 is inconsistent. Sometimes, I'll see a back arrow. Other times, I'll see the current screen shrink, and a little preview of the screen I'm going back to will appear. It can be confusing, especially if you use multiple Android devices with different Android versions. On my OnePlus Open, for example, the Android 15 implementation only shows me a back button with no preview.
