How to switch a Samsung phone to gesture navigation
To enable gesture navigation on Samsung, go to Navigation bar settings and switch from buttons to swipe gestures. The exact gesture options may vary by One UI version.
Steps
- Open Settings and go to Display, then tap Navigation bar.
- Select Swipe gestures instead of Buttons.
- Adjust any available options, such as gesture sensitivity or extra navigation hints.
- Go back and try the gestures so you can learn Home, Back, and Recents right away.
Quick Checks
- Some gesture-hint and swipe-direction options changed on newer One UI versions.
- If the Back gesture feels too sensitive, look for a gesture sensitivity slider.
- Phones with accessories like S Pen support can show extra gesture-related settings.
Tips
- Give yourself a day or two to get used to gestures before deciding whether to switch back to buttons.
- If a case interferes with side swipes, slightly increase edge sensitivity or adjust how you hold the phone.
- Menu names can vary slightly by model, carrier, or One UI version.
