P30 Pull Down Menu Annoying

[ItsDoctorWhom]

Is there any way to be able to pull down the notification menu from anywhere on the screen instead of dragging from the very top? With a phone case on my phone it's incredibly finicky.

Appreciate it.

Welcome to the forums. As far as I know Huawei removed that feature on their stock launcher and now the swipe down gesture triggers a search for your apps and contacts. I guess your best option could be using a custom launcher that let you define the gestures.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look and see if I can find something.

Nova launcher would be my first choice.

When I went to EMUI 10, gestures quit working properly with Nova launcher.

I think you are talking about a different thing. Full navigation gestures (home, back, recent, switch) have been a bit wonky on some devices after Android 10, including Pixels. This is a known issue with any launcher, OEM's and third party like Nova, and the blame is on Google and their new way to implement them. The OP is talking about a launcher gesture and this kind of gestures still work flawlessly after 10.
