Can I use gesture navigation instead of the 3-button navigation with minimalist phone?
Gesture navigation is a feature where you use specific movements, or gestures, on your device's screen to navigate (such as swiping from one side to go back, or swiping up to go home), instead of tapping the three on-screen buttons.
Yes, minimalist phone does support gesture navigation. However, please note that Android only supports the combination of a custom home screen and gesture navigation from a certain version onwards. Depending on your device's Android version or the manufacturer's specifications, this combination may not be allowed.
You can verify if gesture navigation is available while using minimalist phone by checking your settings.
The usual path to these settings is: minimalist phone settings (the gear wheel icon on the page with all apps) -> Device settings -> System -> Gestures -> Gesture Navigation.
For Samsung devices, you can find these settings by following this path: minimalist phone settings (the gear wheel icon on the page with all apps) -> Display -> Navigation bar.
If you're unable to switch to gesture navigation, it's likely that your Android version is not high enough or the manufacturer of your device has disallowed this combination.
