Ships with Android 9; install the Android 10 update first. Later updates went to Android 11 and then straight to Android 13 (Android 12 was skipped); Fairphone did not upgrade it to Android 14, and support ended in 2026-08. Build.MODEL FP3 is shared with the Fairphone 3+ (same software build). No key or gesture that opens a chosen app is documented on the Fairphone pages I could reach, so only the common inputs apply.

Gestures on the Fairphone 3

No gesture specific to this model is known. We only list what the manufacturer or reliable sources document.

Plus what the app offers on every Android phone: In-app button, Widget, Quick Settings tile, Shake, Volume keys, Voice phrase. How to set those up

Recommended presets

  • Shake ×3Sends a signal

    Three sharp shakes within 2.5 s: hard to do by accident, easy to do without looking.

    Shake ×3, 0.15–1 s apart · whole gesture within 2.5 s

  • Widget ×2Sends a signal

    Two taps on the home-screen widget within 3 s; a single accidental tap does nothing.

    Widget ×2, 0.1–3 s apart · whole gesture within 3 s

Gestures are set up in the phone settings as shown, then combined into a trigger recipe in the app, where practice mode shows step by step whether a gesture would trigger.
