Samsung Pay is one of the best Google Pay alternatives out there. It comes with MST technology and allows users to pay via Samsung Pay at legacy terminals. Simply swipe up from the home or lock screen, select a card, authenticate yourself, and pay on the go. The problem with the current approach is the overall implementation. The swipe up gesture to open Samsung Pay interferes with the swipe up navigation gesture in Android OS.
When users tried to use the swipe gesture to go home or open the multitasking menu, they accidentally opened the Samsung Pay interface. This is annoying because you probably use navigation gestures more often than the Samsung Pay app on a daily basis.
Samsung Pay shortcuts via swipe up are convenient so you don’t have to search for apps in the App drawer to quickly pay for your store purchases.
However, if you’re already invested in the Google Pay ecosystem, Samsung Pay might be an unsuitable add-on for you. Read along to learn how to disable Samsung Pay swipe up gestures on Samsung Galaxy phones and continue using navigation gestures as intended.
