Switching apps does not work 100% on the s25.

Swipe left to right to switch app does not work 100%. When I swipe it misses lot of times. But When I'm using iPhone it works 100:%. I hope Samsung can fix this since this is basic.

Swiping to change apps is not a Samsung, or even an Android thing.  If you have swipe gestures on, then swiping at the bottom may bring up the recent apps screen which allows the change.  if swipe gestures is not turned on then you would get to this with the 3 vertical lines button at the bottom, and THEN you can swipe left and right to change the running app.

Not all phones do things in the same way, switching between brands with different operating systems is a bit of a learning curve.

Not even sure that this works with iPhone, from what I am seeing, you have to swipe up to get to the "task switcher" so simply swiping left to right will not even change apps on an iPhone without first swiping up (or hitting the home button twice.

Swiping along the bottom bar left to right or vise versa will quick switch between recently used apps without the multitasking interface has been a thing for android and iOS for years. If you have gesture hints hidden, it is disabled by default and needs to be enabled in nav bar settings under "switch apps when hints hidden"

I just turned on swipe gestures to test your theory, and guess what?  My S25 only switches between web pages in the browser app, it does not let me change into another app, when swiping left to right on the bottom (where the navigation bar would be).

I have never heard of what you describe, and have been using swipe gestures since Samsung first had them.  Again, to change tasks you would need to either need to have navigation buttons, and hit the 3 vertical lines, use swipe gestures and swipe up to about half of the screen, or have the old swipe gestures, and swipe up from the left or right (configurable) to get the recent app "task switcher".  Only then can you swipe left, OR right to switch tasks.

Also the option "switch apps when hints hidden" does not appear anywhere in my Navigation Bar settings.

You must have the gesture hint enabled for it to work 100% of the time. It always works for me.

Do you have good lock installed?  I cannot find gesture hints on my S25 Ultra.

Go to the settings menu, > Display > Navigation bar > More Options > Gesture hints. I do have goodlock installed.

The phone's case can make swiping on this gesture hint to switch apps difficult to do. Samsung does not offer any way to increase the height of this gesture hint bar. The Bottom gestures sensitivity setting in Home Up has no effect, this only makes it easier to swipe up to go to the home screen.
