There are a lot of options to change swipe actions, but I use my phone with my left hand and often try to swipe right to upvote, but when I do, half of the time it instead it goes back. Can we have an option to disable swipe-right-to-go-back?

If it's not in settings-> gestures that's probably a phone gesture you'd need to change on your device.

Swiping right doesn't go back for me.

It does it for me too, and it's quite frustrating

Voyager is the only app on my smartphone that does that

Edit: it only happens if you swipe starting from the border of the screen, which may explain why it happens for lefties

I literally just came to this sub to find out if i could turn ON swipe to go back because i'm a righty and i can't reach the left side of the screen. turns out it's already on but i can't reach! they should expand the range and make it configurable
