Steps to Disable Gemini Corner Swipes

If your phone keeps opening Gemini when you swipe up from the corners, follow these steps to turn it off:

1. Open Settings – Launch the Settings app on your Android device.
2. Go to Gesture Controls – Navigate to System > Gestures (or Display > Navigation bar & gestures on some devices).
3. Find Corner Gestures – Look for Corner Gestures, Quick Gestures, or similar options.
4. Disable or Change the Action – Tap Left-Up Swipe and select None or disable the toggle. Repeat for Right-Up Swipe if needed.
5. Confirm Changes – Exit settings – the changes save automatically.

What If You Don’t See These Options?

Some Android skins hide gesture settings differently. Try these alternatives:

• Samsung One UI: Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Side & Corner Gestures.
• Pixel/Stock Android: Check Settings > System > Gestures > System Navigation.
• Third-Party Launchers: Apps like Nova Launcher may override system gestures.

Troubleshooting Tips

If Gemini still activates accidentally:

• Restart your phone after changing settings.
• Check for system updates – newer versions may have better gesture controls.
• Try resetting all gesture preferences under Settings > System > Reset options.

Now you can swipe from the corners without accidentally launching Gemini!
