Delayed notifications are one of the most enduring issues with Google Pixel phones, and Google seems to be aware of the issue.

    They still haven’t fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

    It’s a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won’t be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.

    From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

      Try switching to gestures. I haven’t had that problem on my Pixel 6A and I only use gestures (imo they are way better and more convenient to use.

        Gestures are not better for me and my situation. Please stop suggesting that I work against my better interests.

        They are objectively slower and less precise, just to start with.

          What? You say that like I say that constantly to you.

          I just suggested what works for me. Calm down mate.

          Also for me they are objectively faster since I have to move my fingers less. Especially the back gesture which is miles better than the button. I very rarely use the app switcher. It’s easier to just swipe to the next app or go to the home screen and open the app again.
