Path shown is realme UI 6.0/7.0. realme UI 3.0-5.0: Settings > System settings (or Additional settings) > Gestures & motions > Screen-off gestures > Add gesture. realme UI 1.0/2.0: Settings > Convenience tools > Gestures & motions > Screen-off gestures > Add gesture. realme's guide lists the addable gestures as Draw ^, Slide up, Slide down, Slide left, Slide right, Draw M and Draw W; after choosing one you pick its function. realme's English guides do not name the functions; the screenshot in realme's China guide shows Unlock, Call someone and Launch an app, so the exact English label of the app option is unconfirmed. Draw O (camera) and Draw V (flashlight) are fixed functions and cannot open another app. Added gestures appear under More screen-off gestures, where they can be changed or deleted. Works only while the screen is off. realme says its phones have no lock-screen mistouch prevention and suggests turning screen-off gestures off when pocket mis-touches happen, so use a gesture together with a second input. Whether the app opens over the lock screen or only after unlocking is not documented.
