[Feature] Reuse Telegram gestures

[L0GYKAL]

Is there an existing request for feature?

• I have searched the existing issues

What feature would you like?

The telegram gestures are a must-have for a messaging app.
Slide right to answer, slide left to leave the chat interface to the main menu etc...

Anything else?

Android already has this natively if you swipe from left edge to the middle of the screen on the conversation screen it will return you to the conversation list, but it's not something in app, just a native Android thing from my understanding? I think you need to turn on "gesture navigation" for that to work.

The calls buttons being swipeable is something we can look at

You can also already swipe on a message bubble in order to quote/reply to that message, though the swipe gesture is to the left. We could look into inverting that swipe gesture to the right as it seems to match other app behaviours.

That would be amazing, thanks🙏

I never enabled the gesture navigation and Telegram has been working fine with those gestures for the last 5 years

I hate gestures. Just want developers to know not all users need it or happy to have it.
