Yes, there is an option to enable the three-button navigation instead of gestures. I have it on. Unfortunately, Android 15 introduced the "edge-to-edge" feature where applications _by_ _default_ get the whole screen for drawing, including the space usually taken by the navigation bar and notches: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/layout/edg...

Even if an app correctly handles the insets, you still have to swipe up to show the three-button bar before interacting with it.

It's freaking annoying. And can't be turned off.
