Sound Notification

[Android Central Question]

When pushing up volume button on Pixel 3 you get option of mute,vibrate or sound and vibration it also used to show up on bottom of screen but now seems to have disappeared

I think you're right.

I don't remember any volume display at the bottom of the screen.
Is this specific to the Pixel 3 line? Certainly can't remember anything like that on my Pixel 2 XL.

For me it has always slid it on the side of the screen, as if coming from the volume button. It still does now.

I just checked my Pixel 2. Nothing on the bottom of the screen.

I just tried this on my Pixel 3 and the action descriptions still show at the bottom.

There's a chance that toast message is being pushed by a third party app that you downloaded and not by the system. You can try this app if you want to be sure.

We talked about this app on this other thread.

Yeah, not seeing on my Xl either. However, I do recall seeing this at one point now that I see the screenshot.

umm.. maybe. I don't have many 3rd party apps on system. I run a fairly skinny device, but anything's possible. I just think it's a service side thing .. I mean... it's Google, right. We might all wake up tomorrow and either all have it or nobody have it..

Most likely this a system notification but funny that it could be different between the 3 and 3XL models.

Yeah its weird that both wouldn't have it.

Is it perhaps something to do with having the Gesture interface turned on vs off?
Or perhaps it's the setup with the Gesture interface turned on AND the Accessibility thingie enabled?
Grasping at straws here.

Pixel 3 can't disable gestures on pix 2 you can.
