A swipe up from the bottom right corner will take you back while a swipe up on the bottom and center will take you back to the home screen. Swiping up in the bottom left corner will reveal the Control Center . Pretty cool, isn't it?

Similar to recent iterations in most Chinese user interfaces (read MIUI or OxygenOS), the Vivo V7's FunTouch OS has a lot of gestures. For starters, you can activate the Raise to Wake gesture, which will illuminate the screen when you lift it, allowing you to see all notifications.
Another cool set of gestures are the Smart Call functionality and S mart answer . To make a call directly to a person, hold the phone close to your ear. Similarly to answer a call, just lift your phone and place it near your ear. Farewell, call buttons!
To turn it on, go to Settings>Smart Motion>Smart Wake and activate the switches.Another cool feature of the Vivo V7 is the ability to set the hotspot limit. It lets you choose how much data you want to share in a single session and, thus, it controls the amount of data consumed in a single session.

I fell in love with Duplicate Apps or Clone apps since its introduction in MIUI 8. The Vivo V7 also allows you to have two copies of the same app, meaning you can run two separate accounts of the same app from one device.
Thus, applications compatible with this feature will appear in the App Clone settings menu.

However, in the Vivo V7, the volume rockers – the down key to be precise – can act as a call to open Facebook, the camera, the flashlight or one of your favorite apps.
The only catch is that the Vivo Smart Click will only work when the screen is off. Also, this feature will not work if the music player is on.
Play mode or Eye protection … blue light filters today go by various names. Given the effect of blue light on sleep patterns, it is generally common in most recent smartphones.
Another great feature of the Vivo V7 is that you can not only activate Eye protection very fast from the Control Center but you can also configure it so that the function activates automatically at a scheduled time.
