Just got my beautiful S25 ultra. I have gesture navigation on. I love using Nova launcher, but the exit animation when returning home from an app that's on the home screen looks better on One Ul home. On One UI home it's directly connected, with the window transitioning directly onto the app on the home screen, while on Nova Launcher it always uses the animation as if the app is in the drawer only. Does this bother anyone else? And anyone know a fix? Thanks for reading.

it's known issue since Android 10 and Google refuse to fix it, blame Google for this one. The only solution only sticking with One UI

Sounds like a Nova Launcher issue, not  Samsung one.  You are choosing to use a third party launcher and then complaining that the Samsung transition effects don't work properly?

There is an API for app closing animations, but Samsung doesn't allow access to it for third-party launchers. Details here:
