That gesture as recorded by the gyro then triggers the phone to communicate with the desktop to send information over regarding what was on screen. For example a website, or reddit comment, or photo.

PSA: Fix for Whatsapp getting stuck at loading Media from Backup (Sorry if its the wrong Sub)

3. Disconnect your phone from your PC
4. Uninstall Whatsapp from your phone
5. reinstall WhatsApp BUT DONT OP...
