Recently I discovered that on Pixel phones you can tap the back of the phone twice to bring down the notification bar. However, this is so clunky and barely works.
What will it take for Google to just bring back the rear fingerprint reader with the ability to swipe down on that for notifications?
They took something useful and well liked, for what? Software that barely works, is slower and is objectively worse than the option that worked?
