Ships with EMUI 9.0 (Android 9) and Google Mobile Services; install the EMUI 10 (Android 10) update first. Later global EMUI versions do not state a newer Android base, so last_os counts Android 10. No built-in gesture or key opens a chosen app: knuckle gestures (where present) only take screenshots or record the screen, and double-pressing Volume down only takes a photo or opens the camera. In China, HMA-AL00 and HMA-TL00 later moved to HarmonyOS (Android-compatible); last_os follows the global EMUI release, which ends on Android 10.

Gestures on the Mate 20

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.
