Switch Between Navigation Buttons and Gesture Controls auf Realme
The Android navigation bar runs in one of two modes on Realme UI: three virtual buttons or swipe gestures from both sides. Which mode is active decides how much screen stays visible in video and gaming apps, and how you trigger Back, Home, and Recent apps actions.
Virtual buttons keep a permanent bar with three icons at the bottom of the screen. This mode makes switching apps quick and predictable, but it removes a thin strip of usable screen on every app you open.
Swipe gestures from both sides hide that bar completely. Going back becomes a swipe from either screen edge, going home is a swipe up from the bottom, and recent apps opens with a swipe up and hold. This mode gives full-screen content but needs a short adjustment period, especially in apps that use their own edge-swipe menus.
To switch between the two, open Settings ➔ Convenience tools ➔ Navigation and pick Swipe gestures from both sides or Virtual buttons. The first time you activate gesture control, Realme UI shows a short on-screen tutorial that walks through each gesture before it takes effect.
If certain apps misread edge swipes as their own menu gestures, switching back to virtual buttons avoids the conflict without changing any other setting.
