After December update I am facing this issue where most of the time swipe down on fingerprint for Notification gesture isnt working as it should be. The vibration feels same as when fingerprint is not verified on lockscreen while swiping on the sensor for notification area to come down. I tried turning off all the security and again setup it all with no success issue is still there.
Am I the only one with this issue or are there people having same issue and have noticed it?

I had a similar issue before the Dec update and ended up disabling that feature. It was too inconsistent, sometimes worked but often not. Fingerprint scanning mostly works fine, better than the notification swipe, but sometimes I have to try 2 or 3 times for it to register. I attribute that to my finger being dry, but who knows.

Swipe down to access notifications on the Pixel 3 has been hit or miss since day 1. It's not a feature I use much either way, but when I do, it's a 50% chance of success on the first try. You have to be very intentional about your swipe. Starting from the very top edge and swiping straight down to the bottom edge - not too quickly and not too slowly.

This is not I was talking about.. I use this feature a lot and its 100% go for me everytime but after december update the swipe is taken as if I am using fingerprint to unlock an already unlocked device(feels due to vibration pattern) I have removed every lock and now the swipe seems good again.
