Doesn’t iOS do that too? In any app I can swipe in from the left edge and it goes back to last page/menu

unlike android, iOS is inconsistent with how one returns to the previous page. even some of apple's own apps - photos, for example - don't feature the back gesture, forcing one to use the back arrow in the upper left corner or to swipe down from the top of the screen

Nah the back button in Android is by far the biggest gap between the two OSs imo, I was in the market for a new phone about three months ago when I got a new job and they gave me an iPhone so I decided to give that a go instead of purchasing a new Android and (among other things as well) it was one of the main things that drove me insane and made me get a Pixel 7 haha.

If you’re wanting to go back to the previous app, you can just swipe to the right (to go back) and to the left (to return to the same app) along the bottom of the screen where the gesture bar is.

I know but that is Not a „Universal“ swipe and not from right edge possible. But thanks for the tipp.

Right, so universal means it’s from the right side?

Yeah left and Right side. And it can close the Keyboard as well as pop ups.

recent switcher back to ios from pixel and this one kinda confuses me. on ios all you have to do to go back to the previous app is swipe right towards the bottom of the screen. while in android yeah you can do that from the middle of the screen but one of the things I missed when I switched from ios to android initially was being able to navigated in app back to previous screens or menus.
