TL;DR<\/p>\n
Some Pixel owners say the December update stopped the notification shade from opening normally in One-Handed Mode.
\nReports span several models, but others say theirs still works, so the issue isn\u2019t universal.
\nGoogle hasn\u2019t documented any changes to One-Handed Mode; we\u2019ve reached out to the company for comment.<\/p>\n
A handful of Pixel owners claim that the December Pixel update<\/a> may have inadvertently broken one of the commonly used gestures. Several online reports claim that the notification shade can no longer be pulled down once One-Handed Mode<\/a> is active, a feature that was working normally before the latest update.<\/p>\n Has your Pixel notification shade broken in One-Handed Mode since the December update?<\/p>\n 7 votes<\/p>\n No, it’s working just fine.<\/p>\n 57%<\/p>\n Yes, I have this problem.<\/p>\n 14%<\/p>\n I haven’t tried it.<\/p>\n 29%<\/p>\n The first report appeared on Google\u2019s Pixel Support page<\/a>, where a Pixel 9 Pro owner said they were suddenly unable to open the notification panel after triggering One-Handed Mode. Similar complaints then surfaced on Reddit here<\/a> and here<\/a>, with users on devices ranging from the Pixel 9 Pro to the Pixel 10 Pro XL reporting that the same gesture no longer works after the update.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n
