Gestures have been a mainstay of our smartphone experience since the advent of multi-touch displays. We no longer think before pinching and zooming when viewing photos, nor do we stop and consider why we’re pulling down to refresh Twitter. We expect specific things to happen when we interact with the content on our screens in a specific way. But there’s more to Android gestures than just the basic ones. Our ecosystem is filled with sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden, interactions, and we’re here to explore some of the coolest ones.

This is in no way a complete list of all gestures available on Android. We limited ourselves to (near) stock Android and specifically Pixel devices and Google apps. The list can get a lot longer when you consider other Android skins and non-Google apps.

General Android gestures

We’re all used to swiping down to drop the notification panel on Android. But did you know you can swipe down with two fingers to directly open the Quick Settings toggles? It’s not the most ergonomic Android gesture, granted, and I often forget to use it, but it’s there if you want to skip two consecutive swipe-down movements.
