How to use gestures to navigate with your Samsung mobile
To be able to access gesture navigation on any Samsung mobile we have to install One Hand Operation +. We will have a series of options to customize the level of transparency of the controller, the size, its position and even the width of the touch area.
That said, we have two first options: configure left and right controller. Within each one of them we can configure up to 3 actions, one for each of the different gestures. They are straight to the right, diagonal up and diagonal down. In other words, in total you can assign 6 different basic actions.
But there is more. For example, if we activate the long slide option in the left controller, you access three more gestures to configure although with a longer slide and in which you have to keep your finger on the screen. It may sound complicated, but surely many of you are going to get a lot out of this series of options.
Already depending on your own needs you can adapt it to your daily chores. Other options you have is to change the vibration level and what the glide distance would be. Go for it:
- We install One Hand Operation +:
- We start the app and we will see that it is deactivated.
- We activate it.
- We press over left controller and we will go to another screen where we will have more customization options.
- We select the gestures and we can assign any action from the list.
We also have advanced settings for use navigation gestures with any Galaxy and they allow us to deactivate the animation when a gesture is made, activate the horizontal mode and a series of other options that we let you discover yourself. A great app from Samsung itself that will make it safe for any Galaxy to fly with gestures.
