Samsung Galaxy: How to Get the 3 Gesture Swipe Bar Back

Quick summary: Older Samsung phones had a gesture option where you swiped up from three spots at the bottom: one for back, one for home and one for recent apps. Samsung moved it around after One UI 6.1.1, but you can still get it back with Good Lock.

Step 1: Install Good Lock and NavStar

1. Open the Galaxy Store and search for Good Lock. Install it and open it.
2. Tap NavStar. If it says Install, install it first.
3. Tap Swipe gestures, turn it on at the top, and also turn on Enable extra gesture settings.

Step 2: Turn on the three swipe areas

1. Open Settings > Display > Navigation bar.
2. Tap More options.
3. Select “Swipe from sides and bottom” (the option with three swipe areas at the bottom).
4. Change the button order (optional) if you want back on the left and recent apps on the right.
5. Gesture hints (optional): turn them off if you don’t want to see the little lines at the bottom. The gestures still work. You can also choose whether to switch apps when hints are hidden.

Now swipe up from the bottom to go back, go home or open recent apps, just like the old days.
