A swipe on the top will allow you to access quick settings, while bottom to up gesture will pop the notifications for you. Further, on the swipe to right, brings Google Assistant who is always ready to help you out. New Material UI 2.0 based update will open Google Fit when you swipe to the left.

Also, if you didn’t receive the update by performing th above steps, then we suggest you wait for some time.
