Hello, Since last update, the ‘‘return’’ button (arrow) and the ‘‘show recent app’’ button (square) at the bottom of the screen are stuck in the original position (arrow to the left, square to the right) and I’m unable to invert their position by selecting the corresponding option in the parameter.…

The update went well but now my “3 button navigation” is swapped from what I am used to. This is the order of the “3 button navigation” I am used to which I have used since I have the Fairphone 6: [Screenshot_20260226-151859_-_Kopiert11] The option to switch it does not do anything: [Screenshot…

Hi and welcome to our Community forum, Flederratte! I’ve moved your post here. It’s a known issue and we can’t help you. That needs to be fixed in an upcoming update, nothing we users can do anything about.
