Gestures could also (optionally) be used for replacing the navigation bar at the bottom to save space.

The basic functionality of the bottom bar is:

  • showing the task switcher
  • showing the home screen
  • closing apps

This actions could be replaced in this way:

  • there's already a gesture for opening the task switcher, but for this the finger has to be placed on one of the bottom bar buttons and swiped up (would have to be changed to be swipeable up from the bottom of the phonescreen without the need for the bottom bar)
  • there's already a home button on the task switcher screen, but maybe there should be added another gesture for this
  • closing apps is not done that often on mobile (in my experience), it is enough that it can be done from the close buttons in the task switcher
