Is it possible to customise gestures?

I don't like the default swipes behaviour because it doesn't allow to use the phone with one hand. For instance, I would like to have swipe down from the right corner to show the notifications. Is it possible at all?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the gestures on the iPhones with Face ID.


Alternatively, you can use Assistive Touch, which adds a floating button in iOS, where with a few presses you can access, for example, the Lock Screen so that you can see your notifications.


You can activate Assistive Touch here:

Settings → Accessibility → Touch → AssistiveTouch → enable AssistiveTouch
