The Google Play device list gives Build.MODEL 'BLADE A3' and 'ZTE BLADE A3' (device P809F40) without a year; this MediaTek-based model matches the Blade A3 2017, not the 2015 Blade A3. Helpix lists the Blade A3 2017 as announced 2017-10, so the month shown is the announcement month. Ships with Android 7.0 Nougat (MiFavor 4.2) per Helpix. No Android update is documented, so this is the version it shipped with. ZTE documents no shortcut for it that opens a chosen app, so only the common inputs apply.

The app can't run on the ZTE Blade A3 (2017)

Its last official update is Android 7, and the app needs Android 10 or later.

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.
