And what do these gestures actually look like? In the first case, i.e. if you want to answer the call, shake twice with your hand bent at the elbow. Samsung says that the gesture works correctly with its Phone app and that it may not fully understand other Google Play titles. The settings interface allows you to test the function in a rough way.
If, on the other hand, you want to reject an incoming call, you can do so by turning your wrist twice. This also applies to canceling alerts such as other alerts, timers and reminders. Of course, Samsung apps are adapted for this, others can only mute the notification instead of canceling it.
