When your phone updates to Android Q later this year<\/a>, you’ll have a new option for navigating around. Instead of relying on Android’s tried-and-true three-button navigation, Android Q<\/span> introduces a true gesture-based navigation method that gets rid of the back button<\/span> you saw linger around in Android Pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Android’s new gesture navigation method is part of the Android Q beta<\/span>, which means there’s always a chance\u00a0Google could change how it works before the final release. If that happens, we will update this post.<\/p>\n

Gesture navigation in Android Q is optional — for now at least — so you’ll have to purposely opt into using it. Here’s how to enable it, and then how to use all of the new gestures we can find right now, including how to master the new back gesture. <\/p>\n

\tEnable gestures <\/h2>\n

The process will vary based on who makes your phone, but if you search the Settings app for “Gestures,” you shouldn’t have any issue finding it. However, here’s how to enable gesture navigation on a Pixel 3 XL ($699 at Amazon<\/a>)<\/span>:<\/p>\n

  1. Open the Settings<\/strong> app<\/li>\n
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the app and tap on System<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Select Gestures<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Tap on System Navigation<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Select Fully gestural navigation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your screen will flash, and a few seconds later the buttons that were just present along the bottom of your screen will be gone. In their place will be a single white line. <\/p>\n

    \tHow to get to the home screen<\/h2>\n

    A quick swipe up from the bottom of your phone’s screen will take you back to your home screen.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Just swipe up to go home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Get to the multitasking view <\/h2>\n

    To view all open apps, you swipe up from the bottom of the screen but pause about a third of the way up the screen.<\/p>\n
