Google Pixel update brings double-tap and raise-to-wake features

Google currently rolls out the update to its Pixel and Larger XL devices in Canada

Google is updating its flagship Google Pixel smartphone with some much-awaited features such as the double-tap and raise-to-wake functionalities from its Nexus predecessor. These updates will primarily aid you in quickly and easily checking your notifications.



Google has currently rolled out the update to its Pixel and Larger XL devices in Canada. By simply raising your smartphone or double-tapping its screen, you can wake your device and see alerts and notifications.

Apple latest iOS 10 update saw the iPhone and iPad see the raise-to-wake functionality.

Currently, Google has not released the update for its US and International Pixel owners, but it surely wouldn’t take that long.



You can activate the newly added features by jumping through to the ‘Moves’ section in the general settings panel if your phone has been updated. Once you’re there, all you have to do is enable the options for ‘Double-tap to check phone’ as well as ‘Lift to check phone.’
