The easiest way to silence notifications on your Pixel might just be broken.

Some Pixel phones have forgotten how to Flip to Shhh

Some users of Pixel phones have been experiencing issues with the Flip to Shhh feature, which silences notifications by flipping the phone face down on a flat surface. This handy trick, introduced with the Pixel 3 in 2018, has suddenly stopped working for many, with no apparent reason. Users have taken to Reddit to express their frustration, stating that the feature is either impossible to enable or has disappeared from the Settings menu altogether.

Despite updating the Digital Wellbeing app, which is said to fix the issue for some, the problem persists or even returns after the update. Google has not confirmed any connection between the update and the malfunction, and the company has been contacted for further information.
