However, you shouldn’t worry as there is a workaround. In this guide, you will get to know how to hide or remove the Gesture Pill in Navigation Bar on Android 13.

What is Gesture Pill in Android 13?

Gesture Pill is a small, rounded icon that replaced the traditional three-button navigation system seen in previous Android OS versions. It is designed to provide an intuitive and streamlined way of navigating through the UI. It will allow you to access various navigation actions through gestures.

You’ll be able to swipe left/right on the gesture pill for accessing recent apps, swipe up and hold to access the app drawer, and swipe up to go to the home screen. It is highly customizable and you’ll be able to change the size, color, and shape of the gesture pill for fitting your personal style.
