Third-party Android launchers often suffer from limitations and issues because of Android, but this user survey could help.

    That was a problem in the old android 10 smartphones on some devices. Most smartphones except from xiaomi can use gestures with 3rd party launchers. Not allowing gestures with other launchers is on xiaomi.

    The animations may be buggy and, there may be other bugs. But, it works in other brand smartphones.

      Uh, makes sense, thanks for clearing that up.

      So in my case it actually is Xiaomi being Xiaomi, screwing it’s power users, or any users in general.

        Wait till you experience the unmitigated joy that is Xiaomi’s battery optimisations, resulting in permissions you grant to the launcher for gesture and media support to be constantly revoked. 🙄

          The warning prompt for dangerous permissions is not fun either.
