Beta 6 pursues modifications to gesture navigation previously that added a few much-required polishes. Now, with the latest release, Android Q inserts the sensitivity inclination for the Back gesture, which we formerly spotted in a leaked build. To access the “Back Sensitivity”, you can go to Settings > System > Gestures > System navigation.
Google also explained, Android Q beta 6 even includes “all of the features, system behaviors, and developer APIs that you’ll find in the final platform,” which include the concluding API 29 SDK & updated developed tools for Android Studio.
