Public bug reported: Hi guys, I noticed the horizontal swipes in the interface behave in different ways meaning different things, I wish we could have common positive/negative meanings on the directions they are applied.
On snap decision calls, a left to right swipe has a positive meaning, answer the call. On indicator message, a left to right swipe has a negative meaning, remove the message. I guess the same applies to apps, contact app does left to right with a negative meaning, to remove the contact. Lock screen can be swiped away any direction, but on the edge demo we recommend doing a right to left for "removing" the lockscreen. A right to left edge swipe has a meaning of switching context, like swiping it away (maybe negative meaning or we should ignore the case?) Can we come up with a consistent behaviour?
