Nokia 7 Plus suddenly has no more gestures to pie after a recent update

After the October security update, the Nokia 7 Plus no longer has Android Pie gesture This has allowed several readers to know. Why this is exactly, and if the gestures will come back again is not yet known. We have asked for an answer to Nokia and will update this article as soon as we have received it.

Gestures of the Nokia 7 Plus Android Pie

An amazing moment for the owners of the Nokia 7 Plus. After the October security update, deployed for a few days, the gesture control built into Android 9.0 Pie has disappeared. On site, in the settings where it was normally, there is no option to select it. Users who previously used gestures have also been reset to the "old-fashioned" navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen. It would take a while to get used to it, as the gestures differ considerably from the traditional buttons. In this article you will learn about these new gestures. Since October 19, Android Pie is deployed to Benelux users with the Nokia 7 Plus.

In the screenshots above, you may find that a lot of things are gone with the gesture settings. This includes wiping the fingerprint scanner to open notifications, scanning the start button, getting your phone to check, and missing Android Pie gestures. It may be a temporary problem.

Recently, the situation of Nokia 6.1 Plus no longer allowed to remove the notch. It turned out to be a mistake: the next update could make the notch invisible again. We can not imagine that Nokia, who equips their smartphones with the same Android standard, decided to remove all these gestures above.

We contacted Nokia to ask what exactly was the situation. As soon as we have an answer, we will update this article. For the moment, this article is only meant to let your readers know that you are not the only one where the gestures have suddenly disappeared. This is in any case a less worry!

[Update15:20hours: Several readers say that after a restart (or 2) the gestures are back. So that seems like a temporary problem here.]

Thanks for the advice, Ronald and Luuk!
