Samsung Galaxy A70 Navigation - how it works

On your Samsung Galaxy A70, you have the option to replace the usual three-button navigation with gestures. By enabling gesture control, you not only get more space on the display since the controls are invisible, but also a nicer look of the user interface.

Enable Samsung Galaxy A70 gesture control

If you want to enable the alternative gesture control on your Samsung Galaxy A70, follow these steps:

1. Swipe your fingers down from the top edge of the screen to open the application screen.
2. Access the Samsung Galaxy A70 settings.
3. Navigate in the settings to the category "Display".
4. Tap on "Navigation bar" and activate under the item "Navigation area" the option "Gestures on full screen" with the slider.

Instead of the usual three-button navigation, the gesture control is now active. If you do not like the new control, you can simply activate the old navigation again in the settings.

How to use the gesture control

The new gesture control contains all the familiar functions that also contained the old three-button navigation.

1. If you want to call up the application screen or the app folder, you have to swipe upwards from the new button in the middle of the lower display edge over at least half of the display.
2. If you only swipe upwards briefly, the overview of the most recently used and open apps opens as well as a search bar.
3. The back button remains as before and can be found at the lower left edge of the screen.
