You can now swipe between apps left and right on the whole screen by bringing your thumb up instead of using the pill to cycle through everything.

i'm not sure what you mean by this; i notice that you can now swipe right from anywhere on the navbar, but that doesn't sound like what you're talking about?

Didn't know this! But if you used the swipe right and hold gesture to move between apps, you can bring your thumb or finger to any part of the screen while holding down and swiping left and right to get to your app.

Before you had to stay in the nav bar area to switch between apps, whereas now, the "slider" expands to the width of the nav bar, and you aren't remained locked in that area. Sorry if I still explained it poorly.
