Android Authority –
- Google is developing a new ‘Action Corners’ feature for Android, which could be similar to ‘Hot Corners’ on macOS.
- This feature may allow users to trigger actions, like launching Recent apps or opening notifications, by moving the cursor to one of the four corners of the screen.
- The feature is not yet live but may be part of a broader push to make Android a more capable operating system for PCs.
Shortcuts are crucial for saving time on any device, but they’re especially vital on large screen devices like tablets and PCs, where manual navigation can be slow. Apple allows macOS users to set up ‘Hot Corners’ that perform actions when the cursor is moved to a corner of the screen. While Android doesn’t have a direct equivalent to this feature yet, that might change soon.
