How To Enable MIUI Gesture Navigation

To enable gesture navigation on MIUI, you should follow the steps mentioned below.

• Firstly, head to the System Settings and choose Display
• Now, you will see the 'Full-Screen Display' option. Tap on this option to enable gestures
• Doing so, you will see the switch between apps, recent apps, and main screen gestures

The gesture controls provide more screen space as there is no need to have navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen. Also, users can swipe up from the navigation bar at the bottom to go to the home page. A right or left swipe from the edge of the screen will take you back, and an upward swipe will open recent apps. You can toggle between apps by swiping right or left on the navigation bar at the bottom.
