Samsung began beta testing its upcoming One UI 2 software for the Galaxy S10 devices last month. The One UI 2 beta first went live in Korea, before moving to the US, Germany, India and the UK.

One UI 6.1 navigation gestures: Samsung's gesture system

Weeks after the initial beta testing, Galaxy S10 users in the US began receiving the third One UI 2 beta update on their devices last week. One UI 2 brings app switching via gesture navigation, but the same has led to some issues.

Users are complaining (via Reddit) that since the new update, they can no longer switch between apps via gestures if gesture hints are disabled.

There is a workaround to make app switching work via gestures even if gesture hints are turned OFF. Instead of swiping with gesture hints, users can swipe between apps by first swiping their finger up slightly and then sliding it right or left to switch between adjacent apps. The gesture, shared by Reddit user enij90, is a bit like drawing an upside-down U from the bottom of the screen.
