Google in current time is not planning to authorize the third-party apps for Pixel 4 motion sense. However, the company has shown the possibility of these restrictions to change in the future.
Motion Sense Technology
Google’s Motion sense technology is powered with Soli radar backed chip in Google Pixel 4 and Google Pixel 4 XL. This motion sensor tracks accurate sub-millimeter movements of the users at high speed. Pixel 4 series users can operate and change songs, silent phone calls and control clock app by hand gestures. This sensor detects the phone user’s presence and keeps the phone unlocked as long as the user is looking at the phone.

When the announcement was made by the company about Motion sense technology, it was expected that the device would fully be controlled with hand movements. Now as we all know the feature has huge limitations. And now it is considered more disappointing that third party applications are not enabled with motion sensors.
Motion sense technology is not the only disappointment for users, Google’s Face unlock biometric feature also has drawbacks according to users. The phone can be unlocked with the user’s eyes open, any unregistered person can unlock the phone by just simply swiping if the users are sleeping or unconscious or unaware. The company might be working on improving this feature by updating an option for secure eyes open face unlock. However, this drawback is the reason for ultra-fast face unlocking.
Motion sense feature is a new technology that will require a good amount of time for perfection. In the upcoming time, we can expect this technology to include basic features too.
