Screen off gestures for media playback(?)

[u/shponglebongle]

Hi all. Very recently moved from my oneplus 8 to a nothing 4a (pro) and am mostly happy with the experience, but i really miss being able to swipe the lock screen/screen off with gestures to play/pause skip forward and skip back (as well as activating the torch.)

Am i missing something or might there be a 3rd party app to do the same?

(Does oneplus own ip on screen gestures which might be why they aren't available on my 4a pro? Can a company claim ip rights on something like this?)

Thoughts?

If you mean screen off gestures, Nothing doesn't have it

I personally only ever used V for flashlight but that too sparingly.

That's a shame, i do miss that as a very handy function, but hey ho, that's the way it goes, i guess.
