100% agree.
In my opinion the messages* app would be better with gestures:
- remove all buttons: more space for content/bigger font
- replace the "back" button with a swipe right ("mark as unread", keep in message list)
- replace the "tick" button with a swipe left ("mark as read", remove from message list)
In my free time I could try to write some code. I promise nothing but I'd like to contribute :-D
*By the way, why is the app called "Messages"? Wouldn't "Notifications" be a better name? The app does nothing but show notifications ...
- remove all buttons: more space for content/bigger font

I have just closed the defect I logged about the 3 buttons in the message app being too close together so it was hard to select them.
However I would like to challenge why these buttons are needed at all. They seem a but unintuitive to me.
<- takes you back - but I'm quite happy to press what to me is the back button.
Tick - no idea what it does in practice
X - no idea what it does in practice.
The act of displaying a message is enough to acknowledge it. Is anything else really neeed ?
Personally I'd rather have a larger initial display space that was scrollable. (I know we have the option to display large / scroll which is great).
Maybe we could have an option to disable these buttons ?
What does everyone else think ? Do you find these buttons a bit confusing ?
