Interacting with the fingerprint sensor of the smartphone using gestures is something that is already present in Google Pixel devices and some other manufacturer, but thanks to Fingerprint Gestures we can enjoy them on more smartphones.

Use gestures with the fingerprint reader and the Fingerprint Gestures app.

There are some previous considerations that you should know before using this application. First of all, Fingerprint Gestures is compatible with many fingerprint sensors but not all , so you'll have to test yourself if it works correctly. Secondly, some gestures need the application to have root permissions, for example the scroll . Even so, we encourage you to try the app, since most of the gestures are available without being root.

Fingerprint Gestures allows you to assign three types of gestures:

  • A simple pulsation.
  • A double pulse.
  • Pulsation and sliding.

From the program itself we can assign to each gesture one of the following functions:

  • Back, Home, recent applications, etc.
  • Shutdown and restart
  • Scroll (requires root permissions).
  • Open notifications panel, open quick settings panel, etc.
  • Song playback control.
  • Notification management.
  • Run some application, turn on the flashlight, etc.

The application is free, although it has a banner with advertising on the bottom that does not bother. I've been able to try it on a Moto G4 Plus and I can say it works great, once you get used to it, you can not live without this functionality.
