Description

A popular feature of Pixel phones has been Active Edge, a shortcut for Google Assistant that is triggered when the frame of the phone is squeezed firmly. The new Pixel 5 doesn't support that feature anymore, but Jason Howell shows how using an app called SideSqueeze+ can bring back that functionality thanks to the onboard Barometer.


  • What is Active Edge?

  • Installing SideSqueeze+.

  • Allowing special actions using ADB.

  • Calibrating the app to work properly.

  • Screen Press and Plus section for Galaxy devices.

  • Using the Analyzer section.

  • Disabling the persistent notification.
