Get iPhone X like Navigation Gestures on Any Android Phone
Gesture Control – Next level navigation
Gesture Control is a lightweight Android app that runs on Android 4.1 (and above). It provides a variety of iPhone X-like gestures which can be used to go the Home screen, go back, open recent apps, open notifications shade, open quick settings, etc.
The default set of gestures include:
Swipe Up: Home.
Swipe Left: Back
Swipe Right: Notifications
Swipe Up and Hold: Recent apps
Swipe Left and hold: Split screen
Swipe Right and hold: Android Quick Settings
Swipe Halfway Up: No default
Swipe Halfway Up and hold: No default
There are some more gestures supported by Gesture Control app, but they can be enabled after upgrading to the Pro/donation version. These include double tap, long tap, and double tap & hold.
These iPhone X gestures on Android phones can be handy for the users whose hands aren’t big enough to operate smartphones with gigantic screens. An advantage is that the gestures can be configured as per the users’ need. I like the right swipe gesture which opens the Notifications, reducing the effort of my finger which has to go all the way to the top edge of the screen.

Almost all of the gestures work in the sensor area around the black horizontal line (indicator) which itself is customizable. Users can increase the height of the indicator, change its distance from the bottom edge of the screen, and make sure it auto-adjusts when the keyboard pops-up, change color, make it transparent, etc.
The width and the horizontal position of the line can also be changed, but it requires the Pro version which also enables the ability to launch other apps.
Gesture Control has many great features, but it’s hard for an app to be all good. Android users having a virtual navigation bar might face some inconvenience as the app doesn’t hide it. However, on the ‘Tips’ screen, it promotes another app which can do so if the device is rooted.
All In One Gestures
Step 1 : Install All in One Gestures
The easiest ways to get not only the swipe-to-go-home gesture, but a plethora of other useful features, is an app called All in One Gestures. The app is free for full functionality, but if you want, you can purchase the ad-free version for $1.90.
Step 2 : Enable the Accessibility Service
Once installed, open All in One Gestures and you’ll see see three tabs which categorize the various gestures and actions you can assign. For Swipe-to-go-home, select the Swipe tab. There will be a button called “Enable” which is deactivated by default. Tap this button to start enabling swipe gestures.
At this point, the app will ask you to enable its accessibility service. So tap the message at the bottom of the screen, select “All in One Gestures” from the list, then enable the switch at the top of the subsequent menu. After that, head back to All in One Gesture to continue setup.
Step 3 : Enable the Home Button Swipe Gesture
Since we are trying to emulate a swipe up gesture, scroll down until you see the option for Bottom Area. As its picture alludes to, this is a swipe up gesture (Bottom Area defines the starting position of your swipe). Tap the radio (the checkbox), which will bring up a sub-menu. In this menu, you will see a list of actions assignable to the gesture.

Within this sub-menu, you will see options such as Application and Shortcuts, but our concern isn’t with that right now. Under the Action tab, the first choice is “Home.” Select this option, then return to the previous screen, and starting now, you can use the swipe up gesture to access your home screen.
Step 4 : Hide the Trigger Area
If you look at the bottom edge of the screen, you will see a white half-circle. The half-circle is a visual representation of the starting position of the gesture. But since you know where to start the gesture by now, let’s make this invisible.
Return to the app and tap on the hamburger menu in the upper-left corner, then select “Personalization.” You will see an option called “Edge Preferences,” so tap on it. “Opacity” controls the visibility of this white half-circle, so change it to 0%, then press “Close” to finalize your work. Now, the half-circle is gone, but the swipe-to-go-home gesture is still enabled.
