Long-press back button for recent history

nanrto2

Is there anyway to bring back this feature? I recall being able to do this on my android 10 Motorola.

I just tired in landscape and still nothing, interestingly enough though, swiping up in portrait/left in landscape while holding back counts it as a press and goes back. I also tried on Firefox and the feature works there but not on base Chrome.

Issue has been present since I first started using this phone roughly 1 week ago
Asus Zenfone 9
Android 13, Zen UI

Maybe you have the Gestures enabled in the UI, if that's the case, is how it works.

Don't know about Zen phone users on that version

You may ask them

I have the same problem on the phone. On my tablet long press works, but on the phone you can only get this functionality when you move address bar to the top.
Then at the bottom you have back button that reacts to long press.
But back button from Vivaldi menu doesn't have this functionality.
I wonder why make this difference?
I also remember that once you could also show recent history by holding back gesture longer - this also doesn't work any more.

Couple of months back I've switched to Android gesture navigation, but from the start missed this long-press back button feature. Bummer to now find out it doesn't work anymore with the regular Android navigation buttons.
The least should be to make it work from the Vivaldi menu back and forward buttons. But ideally also Android navigation button as well as long holding back gesture should work, if the latter is supported by Android in the first place.

Looking forward to some improvement on this!
