A popular feature of Pixel phones has been Active Edge, a shortcut for Google Assistant that is triggered when the frame of the phone is squeezed firmly. The new Pixel 5 doesn't support that feature anymore, but Jason Howell shows how using an app called SideSqueeze+ can bring back that functionality thanks to the onboard Barometer.

What is Active Edge?
Installing SideSqueeze+.
Allowing special actions using ADB.
Calibrating the app to work properly.
Screen Press and Plus section for Galaxy devices.
Using the Analyzer section.
Disabling the persistent notification.
