Gestures are one of the best thing invented in any smartphones. It makes things work easy. You don’t need any hardware and space for that all you can is just by swiping on the screen. Today or Tomorrow you will have to use gesture whether you like it or not. Because smartphone companies are trying to get rid of as many buttons as they can. Even many smartphone vendors are not providing the soft keys. So, Why don’t you start using gesture now?
My device Support Gesture?
Not all the device supports gestures, so how you can use it if your device doesn’t support gesture. Well, The simple answer is Launcher. There are lots of launchers available in play store and many of them support gesture control. Here, I am going to try it out in the Nova Launcher because it’s the best launcher available in right now.
