Android 13 QPR 2 broke it so Google temporarily remove it. Honestly why do you prefer it? To me it's combined the worst of 3 button and gestures.

It felt easier for me to reach on my gigantic phone lol, and i enjoyed having a home button that i can just tap vs. A gesture bar that requires more motion to operate. I also appreciate that tapping to go home, swiping up for recents was more distinct than swiping up to go home, and swiping and then holding to access recents. Its definitely something i can live without, and i expected it to die, but a part of me was just hoping that my little pill button would live on forever
