Swipe to Shrink (Android 15)

[icu222much]

I just upgraded from a Xiaomi Redme Note 5 (Android 8) to a Pixel 8 (Android 15). On my Redme, I was able to swipe the 'home' button left or right to shrink the screen size to the bottom right hand corner. I cannot find this feature on my Pixel. If this feature has been removed, are there any apps that would do this?

This unfortunately pulls down the top half of the screen, which isn't what I need. My hands can't stretch across the width of my phone, hence why I'm a fan of the 'Swipe to Shrink' which reduces the height and width of the screen, and pulls this smaller screen to the bottom corner.

AFAIK this is the only 'one handed mode' the Pixels support, unfortunately (but I'll let other Pixel users chime in). I do know the feature since Samsung has had it for a while, and I do like it as well, but this wasn't a standard feature on 'vanilla' Android, so they may not have implemented it like other manufacturers did.
