0How to Turn On or Off Gestures on a Motorola Phone (Android Tutorial)
Motorola phones running Android (e.g., Moto G series, Edge, Razr) offer a variety of gestures through Moto Gestures (also called Moto Actions) to enhance user experience, such as quick flashlight activation, camera launch, or three-finger screenshot (as discussed previously).
These gestures are part of Motorola’s custom Android skin and are available on most models running Android 11 or later. Below is a step-by-step guide to turn on or off gestures on a Motorola phone, focusing on the simplest and most reliable method as of September 25, 2025, at 11:05 AM PST.
Steps to Turn On or Off Gestures
Open Settings:
Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon, or locate the Settings app in the app drawer.
Navigate to Gestures:
Scroll to Gestures and tap it. On some models, it’s under System Gestures or System Gestures & inputs.
Alternatively, use the search bar in Settings: type “gestures” or “Moto Gestures” to jump directly to the menu.
Access Moto Gestures:
Look for Moto Gestures (or Moto Actions on older models like Moto G7). Tap it to see a list of available gestures, such as:
Chop twice for flashlight: Double-chop motion to toggle the flashlight.
Twist for quick capture: Wrist-twist to open the camera.
Three-finger screenshot: Swipe three fingers to take a screenshot.
Fast flashlight: Shake to toggle flashlight (on select models).
Swipe to split: Split-screen multitasking gesture.
One-button nav: Gesture-based navigation instead of buttons.
Others like Pick up to silence, Flip for Do Not Disturb, or Quick launch.
Toggle Gestures On or Off:
Tap each gesture to enable or disable it:
Turn On: Slide the toggle to the right (it turns blue/green). Some gestures show a demo video—follow it to learn the motion.
Turn Off: Slide the toggle to the left (it turns gray).
You can enable only the gestures you want (e.g., keep flashlight chop on, but turn off three-finger screenshot).
Test the Gestures:
Try the enabled gestures:
Flashlight: Chop twice horizontally to toggle the flashlight.
Camera: Twist your wrist twice to launch the camera.
Screenshot: Swipe three fingers down (if enabled).
If a gesture doesn’t work, ensure your motion matches the demo and the phone isn’t in a bulky case blocking sensors.
