The Shelf app in OnePlus devices comes with a wide range of useful functionalities and handy features. Some of the best ones include keeping a track of current weather, steps, calorie intake, and workouts, taking notes, and the ability to access your preferred apps from that section.
As far as accessibility is concerned, you will be able to access it by performing a right swipe gesture on the home screen or via swipe down gesture on the status bar of the screen. This is where things start going south. Most people are already accustomed to accessing the notification panel on their OnePlus device using that gesture.
Due to the muscle memory and the rather poor implementation of this function on OnePlus devices, most people end up performing the downward swipe for accessing the notifications, which in turn, opens up the Shelf app. All this spells out an infuriating UI/UX experience. If you’re also in the same boat, then this guide will be of great help to you. In this guide, you will get to know how to remove Shelf from OnePlus via Swipe Down Gesture.
