Direct answerUse the left virtual joystick for movement, swipe to control the camera, and use the right-side action buttons for shooting, attack, movement actions, and interaction. Keep the mini-map visible, learn the three weapon slots, and practice on-foot and driving controls before changing sensitivity or button settings.

On-foot combat controls

  • Enter cover before reloading when possible.
  • Keep the camera pointed toward likely threats while moving.
  • Avoid repeated button presses until the difference between crouch, dash, and context actions is clear.
  • Practice swapping weapons without looking away from the action.

Driving controls

Vehicle handling differs by car. Practice braking, cornering, camera recovery, and narrow-road navigation with one familiar vehicle before judging another car.

  • Brake before a sharp turn rather than after losing grip.
  • Use the mini-map to anticipate intersections and police positions.
  • Prioritize predictable handling for mission travel and escapes.
  • Do not assume an emulator or controller layout matches the official mobile interface.

Sensitivity and interface setup

  • Start with the default values.
  • Change only one setting per test.
  • Use the same short combat and driving route after each change.
  • Restore the previous value if camera control becomes inconsistent.
  • Keep important buttons inside comfortable thumb reach without blocking the center view.

Buttons that cannot be moved or removed

Recent Google Play reviews report that some controls, the map, mission tracker, or other interface elements cannot be moved or removed on their devices. This does not prove the same limitation on every platform or layout. If a control has no drag, resize, hide, or reset option in the current settings screen, keep it in its default position rather than using an overlay or third-party remapper.

  • Save or screenshot the current layout before changing it.
  • Move one supported button at a time and test it in free roam.
  • Keep the fire, cover, vehicle exit, map, and mission controls clear of each other.
  • If a button stops responding, restore the default layout and restart the game.
  • Include device model, OS, game version, control scheme, and the affected button when reporting the issue.
