With the SideSqueeze + application you can make your mobile responds when pressed, as in some Google Pixels. It is valid for Samsung Galaxy that include a barometer, also for the Google Pixel 5. And it allows from launching the virtual assistant to configuring a whole series of settings, SideSqueeze + is super customizable.
Pressing the phone so that it responds is a simple gesture that allows you to carry out endless actions, as long as this gesture is customizable. In the Google Pixel 4, Pixel 3 Y Pixel 2 the squeeze gesture launches Google Assistant (Active Edge), but with the SideSqueeze + app you can perform almost any action on your phone. Not all are compatible with the gesture of squeezing since the application requires the mobile to have a barometer (it is what allows you to record the pressure exerted on the device), but it is worth trying if you have a compatible phone. Like the high-end Samsung Galaxy.
