Pixel’s ‘Flip to Shhh’ notification feature is broken for some
With the Pixel’s “Flip to Shhh” feature on, setting the phone face down silences notifications. It’s a handy feature for disconnecting, but it’s not actually working on several models right now.
The Pixel's "Flip to Shhh" notification feature, which silences notifications when the phone is face down, appears to be experiencing issues on certain models. This feature, available on Pixel 7 and Pixel 10 devices, seems to be malfunctioning for some users. Reports suggest that the setting becomes unavailable after changes or updates, with users reporting various causes such as enabling Advanced Protection, switching launchers, or even resetting their Pixel 10 Pro XL.
When attempting to re-enable the feature, users are met with an error message stating that Flip to Shhh cannot be turned on. The issue appears to be related to a server-side problem involving conflicting Digital Wellbeing versions. In some cases, updating the Digital Wellbeing app from the Google Play Store has enabled the feature again, but the issue has resurfaced for some users after the update.
Interestingly, the bug emerges after Google's launch of the Pixel 11 series, which introduces a similar feature called HiLight. Despite the recent reports, a permanent fix has not been found, and affected users are left without a reliable solution at this time.
