Android users are only now discovering the secret “taps and swipes” that unlock more than a dozen features; you’ll save so much time by doing this.

You might not be aware of the numerous gestures that Google has incorporated into Android phones.

You’ll want to master these “hidden” taps and swipes even though they may not be immediately obvious.

You will be able to use your Android phone much more effectively once you are aware of all of the hidden features.

The first thing to keep in mind is that there are three different navigational options available.

You can navigate using gestures (there are no on-screen buttons), with just the Home and Back buttons, or with three buttons (Home, Back, and App Overview).

By selecting System > Gestures > System Navigation in the Settings app, you can edit these.

Your use of gestures to navigate the phone will be impacted by this.
