How to test Android Nougat 7.1.2?
If you are interested to get involved in the latest beta program from Google then you can simply sign up for the new updates from google for your device. You simply need to visit Android.com/Beta enter your email address and select your device and then you can enjoy the latest version of Google.
There will be new version launched from the Google you need to wait and let the beta arrive on your phone and do let us know the known feature you found in the latest beta release from Google.
Android 7.1.2 started rolling out a few days ago with
bug fixes and cryptic "enhancements" for Pixels and Nexuses. One of the
more visible changes you'll notice if you own a Nexus 5X is a new
option under Settings -> Moves. There's a new Swipe for notifications toggle
that enables you to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor on the back of
the 5X to drop down the notifications. It's a nice gesture that lets
you check notifications without removing your index from the back of the
phone or trying to reach the top of the display with your thumb.
You might remember that there was a bit of controversy over the feature back in November. Users were asking for it to be implemented on the Nexus 5X and 6P, after discovering that the 6P had the same fingerprint sensor as the new Pixels (which had the gesture). But Googler Ian Lake said that, "same hardware doesn't mean same capabilities, alas," crushing the hopes of everyone until Google said it was "evaluating" a firmware update to add the option.
That glimmer of hope is shining a little brighter with the Android 7.1.2 update. On the Nexus 5X, the option is already available and works as intended and better than any third-party app implementation. On the Nexus 6P... we don't know yet because the 7.1.2 images and OTA haven't been released for the Nexus 6P yet. Chances are high though.
Google’s new Pixel smartphones offer a number of features that you can’t get on older Nexus handsets, but one of them just landed on the Nexus 5X with its Android 7.1.2 update.
The gesture hasn’t yet made its way to the Nexus 6P, but it’s unlikely it won’t make the jump at some point. The Nexus 6P made its debut at the same time, and its display is even bigger, making the gesture even more useful.
For now, Android 7.1.2 for the Nexus 5X is only available in beta. You can get yours hands on it by signing up to the Android Beta Program, and once it’s installed, you can enable the gesture from within the “Moves” section of the Settings app.
Bear in mind, however, that beta releases are never as stable as public builds, so you may want to avoid it and wait for the final release if your Nexus 5X is your primary smartphone.

The gesture allows you to swipe down on the Nexus 5X’s fingerprint scanner
to reveal the notification panel. It makes it easier to preview
outstanding alerts when you’re using the device with one hand because
you don’t have to stretch to reach the top of the screen.
