hello i just got my first samsung galaxy s8 and i like playing games but i got a problem when i play sometimes i accidentally swipe down from the top and open notifications and everything
i would like to know if it's possible to disable swipe down please help
 
As far as I know you cannot disable swipe down. You can however tell a game to go "full screen" if it supports it, this will make swipe down much harder.

Sometimes if the S8 detects the game it will enable "Game Tools" when you swipe down which can be enabled to tweak some interactions when playing games.
