> I have never ever swiped back intentionally in over 100000 swipe backs

Real question here, what are you trying to do when you "swipe back"?

Dating apps.

By instinct I swipe back like I am in Safari, and that does something else in those.

Touching something on the left side, like a link, and let my finger touch the glass a tiny bit too long while pulling the finger back. Unwanted swiping happens to me all the time in all directions - may the developers use a touch screen for everything forever!

This swipe thing violates one of the most basic ux principles by making a destructive action easily triggered by accident.
