While I&#8217;m sure there are still some holdouts using trusty three-button navigation, many of us have embraced gesture navigation on our Android phones with open arms. Multitasking is quicker, you can swipe from both sides of the screen to go back, and more screen real estate is left for your content. However, if you&#8217;re only using Android&#8217;s basic swipe gestures for navigation, you&#8217;re missing out on your smartphone&#8217;s hidden gestures and the customization tools available for them. <\/p>\n<p>Gestures can come in a handful of forms \u2014 swiping on the screen is one kind of gesture, but other gestures consist of back taps or phone movements. The exact set of gestures and their customization options will depend on your phone brand. Google Pixel phones have a different gesture customization suite than Samsung Galaxy phones, and the same goes for Motorola or OnePlus phones. This is how I make the most of the gestures and shortcuts on my Android phone, and why only one brand gets them right. <\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tMotorola&#8217;s Razr 2026 software finally matches the hardware&#8217;s flair<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Foldables are only useful if their software makes the most of their hardware. Luckily, the Motorola Razr 2026 series looks to do just that. <\/p>\n<p>                     &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/i-found-androids-hidden-gesture-customization-motorola\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found Android&#8217;s hidden gesture customization and it&#8217;s surprisingly powerful https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/i-found-androids-hidden-gesture-customization-motorola\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-08 18:00:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":267934,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/04\/motorola-razr-fold-event-9.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,116,83,72,86],"class_list":["post-267933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-motorola","tag-oneplus","tag-pixel","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267933"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267933"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":267935,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267933\/revisions\/267935"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
