Samsung has released a new update for Good Lock’s Home Up app. It brings two exciting customization features for devices running One UI 9.0. We explained these features a few days ago, but at the time, the update wasn’t available to the public.
The new Home Up update is now available in South Korea. It comes with version 18.0.0.24 and is available through the Galaxy Store for devices running One UI 9.0 (Android 17). Besides adding official support for One UI 9.0, the update introduces custom background support for the Edge Panel and the Favorites panel (the home screen dock).
The official changelog mentions the following improvements:

Another powerful new feature is support for customizable multi-finger gestures. You can assign two-finger, three-finger, four-finger, and five-finger swipe gestures and map them to any of the 27 available actions. For example, you can assign a three-finger swipe down to take a screenshot or a five-finger pinch to return to the Home screen.
You can also adjust gesture sensitivity, choose a glow effect and vibration pattern, disable custom gestures while using the keyboard, and allow them to work in full-screen mode. You can even customize the animation associated with each gesture.
