One of the most popular settings proposed by many third-party launchers / Android home screen replacements seems to come from Google's pixels. According to a report authored by XDA Developers, the Android Q Beta 5 Pixel Launcher could include a gesture that lets you drag down to extend the notification shadow from anywhere on the Home screen. .

If you used the popular Nova Launcher, you probably know the concept. If not, imagine that you can slip from anywhere on your home screen to display the shadow of the notification instead of having to start from the top of your screen, as usual . There is really not much more than that, but given the popularity of the third-party launch feature, it will probably be a welcome addition.

Unlike most third-party throwers, it does not wait for the gesture to finish to begin the drop-down animation. This follows your finger gently when it moves (although the video does not do the best job of showing it).

It's possible that Beta 5 could land tomorrow (Google is famous for publishing these updates on Wednesday), so we may all have more details about this and other hidden features in the beta version 5.
