I Missed This iPhone Feature on My Android Phones: Here’s How I Added It

Summary
While the iPhone notch has been lamented by many, one useful feature it introduced was the ability to swipe down on it to return to the top of the page in any app.
An app called Action Notch adds this functionality to Android devices, along with a range of others.
After downloading Action Notch, users must grant it accessibility permissions, which allow it to overlay buttons and gestures on top of other apps.
Users can then assign different actions to a single or double-tap, long press, or tilt on the notch.
These include taking a screenshot, turning the screen off, or scrolling to the bottom of a page.
The app can also be used to quickly access frequently used apps, or to trigger specific actions inside apps via automation tools such as MacroDroid and Tasker.
The app is free, with a paid-for “pro” version offering additional options.
