Fingerprint gestures

Are there any plans for enabling gestures on the fingerprint sensor like swipe-down for notification panel?

Hi @OgnjenMarkovic96,

I'm afraid that I don't have any information on new features in upcoming software updates.

I can see how fingerprint gestures can be very useful for example, to access the notifications on your phone or open up the application menu and so forth, so I will make sure to forward this internally as user feedback!

Coming with 7.1.2 to certain smartphones. I don't know if the XZ will be compatible.

Hello,

Please consider seriously of enabling fingerprint gestures, or altering the pull-down gesture anywhere on screen from showing app search to notification shader pull down. Now that Sony has moved to a tall screen aspect ratio, reaching the top of the display for the notification shader is very difficult and annoying. I am forced to use Nova launcher only for having this ability to pull down the notification shader from anywhere on screen.

Thank you

Hi @Feanor22, thank you so much for your feedback!

At present there are no plans to introduce fingerprint gestures for Xperia devices with fingerprint sensors, however I will make sure to forward the feedback you have given to me both regarding gestures in general and fingerprint gestures!

Thanks again and have a great day!
