Gesture Control Needs Work

This one drives me crazy: Holding a phone in my right hand (while parked, of course) gets recognized as a mute command. Anyone else notice this?

Can you disable specific gestures only?

I use it routinely for mute/unmute and "Home." Works great.

I love mute and unmute! Hate trying to change the volume. I can never get it right with gestures.

Guess I'm used to using gesture control since I've been using it since 2017.

Sorry I kind of misunderstood what you were asking. Yes you can but just for the two fingers out and rock paper rock gestures. You can disable them or assign as a different function. It’s under the “Function assignment gesture 1” and 2 in that menu tree. I think they just allow it for these two as it’s the only ones I have ever had accidentally trigger when messing with center console stuff.
