It's just too easy to accidentally swipe back. A massive massive flaw in my opinion. The amount of times I catch my self entering a screen scrolling vertically and then accidentally exiting only to lose my place when I return.

Having said that the speed of doing actions has increased for me. It's just the accuracy has decreased at the same time.

you can adjust the gesture sensitivity

Not enough it seems. Still a huge false positive rate. Made worse by horizontal lists in a lot of apps. Developers are supposed to be able to enforce special zones where the gesture isn't recognised allowing for horizontal scrolling but this doesn't seem to be working either.

A poorly implemented feature that takes the ecosystem backwards.
