OnePlus was one of the first Android smartphone manufacturers to introduce navigation with on-screen gestures and the latest version of OxygenOS on OnePlus 7, namely 9.5, offers a wide variety of customization options in this area, with different styles for gestures. Here’s how to activate them!
OnePlus 7- how to activate navigation gestures
On OnePlus 7, you’ll be able to choose between the classic navigation bar with three buttons or switch to the new navigation standard introduced by Android Pie, which includes a swipe on the Home button, to view the task manager.
OnePlus however, also has its own navigation management system, somewhat similar to iOS, which totally eliminates the bar below. Scrolling from the center to the bottom, it will be possible to return to the Home page, while making a swipe on both sides from the lower part, it will be possible to go back, while to open the task manager it will be sufficient to scroll upwards and hold.
To activate gestures on OnePlus 7 and customize all this, all you have to do is:
- Open the settings from the drop-down or app drawer (app drawer);
- Navigate until you find the item Buttons & Gestures;
- Then tap the Navigation and Gestures item;
- If you want to choose classic navigation, enable the entry Back, Home and Recent;
- If you want navigation with Android Pie gestures, opt for the entry Back and Home;
- By tapping Gesti browsing instead, you will choose the proprietary OnePlus 7 system, which does not include any nav-bar.
That’s all! As on any device on Android, manufacturers choose to implement their own navigation gestures, with OxygenOS, which differs, giving the user the option on OnePlus 7, of choosing between the proprietary and Google systems. Opt for the one that meets your needs!
