How to enable gestures in Android 9 Pie
Gestures in Android appeared since version 9 Pie. Control is achieved by swiping on the button “Home”.
Benefits of gestures:
– No recent apps button.
– Call the previous app with a swipe to the right.
– Scroll through recent apps with a long swipe to the right.
– Comfortable operation with one finger.
How to activate gestures:
1. Open “Settings”.
2. Go to “System” -> “Gestures” .
3. Click on “Swipe up on home button” and enable this item.
These gestures are present in firmware based on “AOSP”. For example, smartphones from Xiaomi, Samsung and other manufacturers that use their own shell may not have gestures.
Note: The names and locations of the settings may differ depending on the firmware.
