Realme P3 Navigation Bar vs Gestures: How to Switch and Customize

Realme phones, including the Realme P3 (assuming you mean a phone in the Realme P series as there isn’t a specific model called Realme P3), usually offer both a navigation bar and gesture navigation. Switching between them and customizing them involves accessing the system settings. The exact path might vary slightly depending on the Realme UI version on your phone, but the general process is as follows:

1. Switching Between Navigation Bar and Gestures:

* Find Settings: Open the “Settings” app on your Realme phone. This is usually represented by a gear or cogwheel icon.
* Find Control Center & Smart Sidebar (or similar): The exact location may vary, but look for options related to system navigation, control center, or system settings. Sometimes it’s under “Convenience tools”, “System & updates,” or a similar category. Look for “System navigation” or “Navigation bar”.
* Choose Navigation Method: You should find a choice between:
* Three-button navigation: This is the classic Android navigation bar with Back, Home, and Recent Apps buttons.
* Gesture navigation: This utilizes swipes from the bottom of the screen for back, home, and recent apps actions. There might be further options within gesture navigation such as swipe up from the center or from the edges.

Select the desired navigation method.

2. Customizing the Navigation Bar (if using):

If you’ve chosen the three-button navigation bar, you may be able to customize it in limited ways, although this feature isn’t always consistently available across Realme UI versions. Possible customizations include:

* Button order: Some Realme UIs allow you to change the order of the Back, Home, and Recent Apps buttons.
* Button appearance: Possibly changing the button’s shapes or colors (this is less common).

To check for these options, look within the same “Navigation bar” or “System navigation” settings menu.

3. Customizing Gestures (if using):

Gestural navigation offers more limited direct customization than the navigation bar. The core gestures are usually fixed (swipe up for home, swipe up and hold for recent apps, swipe from edge for back). However, some Realme UI versions might offer options such as:

* Sensitivity adjustment: This could allow for adjusting how far you need to swipe before the action is registered.
* Animation style: The visual effects of the gestures might be slightly customizable.

If you’re having trouble finding these settings:

* Check your Realme UI version: The location and options within settings can vary depending on the version of Realme UI.
* Search the settings: Use the search bar within the settings app and search for terms like “navigation,” “gestures,” “control center,” or “system navigation.”
* Check your Realme’s user manual: The manual provides detailed instructions on all aspects of your phone.
* Consult Realme’s support: If you can’t find the settings, contact Realme support directly for assistance.

Remember to always back up your data before making significant changes to your phone’s system settings.
