Abstract

Systems and methods for transferring settings between user devices using gestures are provided. A selection of media guidance application setting is made. A user input indicative of a direction in which the user wishes to transmit the selected media guidance application setting is received. A determination is made that a device is present in the direction indicated by the user and the device is identified. In response to identifying the device indicated by the user, the selected media guidance application setting is transferred to the identified device. The transferred setting is applied to the device to which the setting was transferred.
