How to Fix vivo S50 Air Actions Not Working

If Air Actions on your vivo S50 suddenly stop responding, simple gestures in the air may no longer trigger screenshots, scrolling, or app controls. That can be frustrating, especially if you rely on the feature for hands free control. In most cases, the issue is related to disabled settings, sensor blockage, or temporary software glitches.

The good news is that you can usually fix it in just a few minutes.

Why Your vivo S50 Air Actions Are Not Working

• Air Actions is turned off in the settings.
• The motion or proximity sensor is blocked by dirt or a case.
• The feature is restricted by battery saving mode.
• A temporary system glitch is preventing gesture detection.
• The gesture sensitivity setting is too low.

Make Sure Air Actions Is Enabled

Air Actions will not function if the feature is disabled, even if you perform the correct gestures. It is the first thing you should check.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Shortcuts and accessibility.
2. Tap Air Actions, and then toggle the switch to turn it on.
3. Lock your screen, and then test the gesture again in front of the display.

Restart Your vivo S50

A simple restart refreshes motion services and clears temporary background issues. Many gesture problems disappear after rebooting the device.

1. Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
2. Wait for the phone to power back on, and then test Air Actions again.

Disable Power Saving Mode

Battery saver can limit background sensors to conserve power. When this happens, Air Actions may stop detecting movement.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
2. Tap Power saving mode, and then switch it off.
3. Try performing the Air Action gesture again on the lock screen.

Clean the Front Sensors

Air gestures rely on front sensors to detect movement. If the sensor area is dirty or covered, the feature may not respond correctly.

1. Turn off the phone, and then gently clean the top front area of the screen.
2. Remove any thick case or screen protector, and then power the phone back on.
3. Test the gesture in a well lit area.

Adjust Gesture Sensitivity

If gestures work inconsistently, sensitivity may be too low. Increasing it can improve detection accuracy.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Shortcuts and accessibility.
2. Tap Air Actions, and then look for Gesture sensitivity.
3. Increase the sensitivity level, and then test the feature again.

Air Actions on the vivo S50 rely on sensors, software services, and proper configuration. Once the feature is enabled and no restrictions are interfering, gestures should respond smoothly again.
