Assign an action to a gesture

Every corner, edge, flick, and the double-tap is a slot you can point at whatever you like — a built-in action or a star — an app, folder, or shortcut. This is where you change what a gesture does.

#Bind a gesture

1. Open Settings › gestures.
2. Find the group you want: "corners · hold from a corner", "double-tap", "edges · hold on an edge", or "flicks · quick swipe on the sky".
3. Tap the picker for the slot you're changing.
4. Pick a built-in action, or tap the chip "app · folder · shortcut · system" to bind an app, folder, widget, shortcut, Direct item, or system action. Once bound, that chip shows ✦ and the name of what you chose.

The gesture now runs your choice.

With "ai & assistant" off, the "open assistant app" and "ask the sky ✦" chips are hidden.

Binding a slot to a folder blooms that folder's ring when you use the gesture. A widget opens in its own floating window. Note that on phones using gesture navigation, the system back swipe wins over left and right flicks, so those slots may not fire — see Gestures conflict with system gestures.
