Android Q ditches navigation buttons. Are you ready?\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Google<\/span> releases Android Q later this year<\/span>, you’ll gain the ability to ditch the staple three-button navigation that we’ve had on Android for years. With Android Q<\/a>, Google goes all in on gesture-based navigation<\/span>. Even the back button disappears, despite Google keeping it around in Android Pie. The new gestures are very iPhone-like<\/span>, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We know about Android Q and the included gestures thanks to Google’s beta program, which you can\u00a0sign up for and take part in<\/span>\u00a0if you’re willing to deal with random bugs and issues. That said, it’s entirely possible Google changes how the new gestures look or behave, and if that happens, we’ll be sure to update this post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gesture navigation in Android Q is optional — for now, at least — so you’ll have to purposely opt in to 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 ($815 at Walmart<\/a>)<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Gesture navigation on Android Q is just a few taps away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \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
