How to Use Quick Gestures in OnePlus 8T

Here’s how to turn on and use quick gestures in OnePlus 8T. A gesture is used to take a screenshot, double-tap to wake up the screen, play or pause music, and access more settings quickly from the lock screen. You can see system gestures and screen-off gestures in your OnePlus Oxygen OS. The most important quick gesture I always use is the three-finger screenshot. Also, turn on gesture navigation on your OnePlus 8T Oxygen OS.
