I don’t know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.

From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn’t need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be “on” (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn’t need to be unlocked.

Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people’s phone too?

    I miss the old ability to swipe down on the rear fingerprint reader

    Me too, I loved that in my 2XL. Quick Tap doesn’t really match up IMO, too many accidental taps when it’s in my pocket.

      Yeah, I barely use quick tap. The swipe down was so intuitive, and with a bigger phone triple tapping requires you to rebalance the phone in your hand, etc.

        In case you don’t know (I didn’t for a while) there’s a sort of replacement for the swipe down in One Handed mode, where you can swipe down on the very bottom of the screen to open notifications. It’s not 100%, and very occasionally seems to turn itself off, but on the whole it works well.
