Do the Pixels have a "Sidekey" entry in the "Advanced Features" section?

Here's a screenshot from September of last year on my A32-5G phone.

That was probably Android 12 at the time, as it may be version dependent.

You can set that sidekey setting to bring up any app you want to bring up.
The default is the camera - but I keep mine at the flashlight mostly.
Sometimes I make it the audio recorder if I need to record w/o looking.
