One of the most interesting functions of Huawei devices are gestures, adding many possibilities by simply sliding your fingers across the screen or even your knuckles. However, the problems with gestures in Huawei have lived with us for a long time and it is time to solve them. We teach you all the methods to use EMUI screen gestures without problems.
No matter what version of the EMUI customization layer we have or if our smartphone has a curved screen, we can all face this situation at some point. Those failures that can give us many headaches are sometimes solved in a very easy way and by walking around the house as you will discover.
Make sure you have activated the options
As obvious as it may seem, sometimes the gestures have been disabled after an update or because the change was not saved. Before you continue trying to hit the screen to make the gestures work on Huawei , we recommend that you access the options again and carry them out. We remind you where you can find them.
- System navigation: Settings> System and updates> System navigation.
- Quick gestures: Settings> Accessibility features> Shortcuts and gestures.
Applications that do not allow capturing
One of the most useful gestures on our mobile is to take screenshots with just a blow of the knuckles, which may not work correctly in different sections of the system or in apps. All those elements that contain personal information such as the application of our bank or the password system does not allow us to use captures under any circumstances. This may be the reason that is preventing us from using it.
The screen saver is the big problem with gestures
Without going any further, the mobile screen saver can be the cause of the errors in the gestures in EMUI . Just by removing it and cleaning the screen we can see first-hand how it works correctly again. In order to continue protecting the screen while using gestures, we recommend trying an alternative thinner protector.
An update can eliminate the problem
It is likely that our Huawei mobile is suffering from problems with gestures due to a software failure , which may have been resolved long ago with a simple update or security patch and we still do not apply it. Going into Settings> System and updates we will be able to check and solve it in seconds.
What if the bug is on my screen?
In case our Huawei mobile does not allow us to make gestures in any way, we cannot forget about the tool to check for errors in mobile phones with EMUI. This system is found within the Support application that is pre-installed on mobile phones and we will find a direct access as soon as we enter.
To check the status of the screen, we will have to complete a series of steps that include gestures and movements on the screen, a process that will end with a result where we will know if the mobile screen really fails.
