Squeezing to perform actions in your apps

Edge Sense lets you perform certain actions in your apps by just squeezing your phone.

There are default apps that are already predefined with squeeze gestures to perform actions:

• To see all the default apps with predefined actions, your phone needs to be connected to the Internet and these apps must already be installed on your phone. Also, you need to tap In-app squeeze > Add more in-app options and then tap Agree the first time you use the in-app options feature.
• Most of the default apps are not selected. You need to select them to enable their squeeze gestures.

Per app, you can customize squeeze gestures to do a tap or double-tap on a specific area on the screen.
