Thought this might help some people get a little extra use out of a Pixel 2 feature: I'm using Custom Quick Settings to hide the nav bar and of course active edge stopped working, but I noticed it still functioned on the lockscreen. Squeeze-launching the assistant from the lockscreen is pointless to me because I still have to fingerprint- or pattern-unlock my phone before it will tell me anything, but I installed Button Mapper and although there's some warning in its description about not working while the phone is off, it does actually detect squeezes on both the ambient display screen and lockscreen.
I now have squeeze set up to toggle flashlight, since that's something I almost always need to do when the phone is locked and toggling it through quick settings is kind of annoying. This way I don't even have to look at the screen. But the point of this post is, if there's any task you want to be able to trigger while your phone is off, you can use squeeze to do that even if you have full-time immersive mode on.
