Ubuntu Touch OTA-24 released for Ubuntu Phone users

Highlights of this release include initial gesture support with double-tap to wake for selected devices, improvements to fingerprint unlock by allowing more backoff time between read retries, as well as support for media buttons on headsets for most Ubuntu Phone devices.

In addition, the Ubuntu Touch OTA-24 update adds support for handling the sms:// URL scheme for properly opening the Messaging app, adds Full HD 1080p support to the Aethercast implementation, improves SMS and MMS support, and adds various performance tweaks to the Mir-Android-Platform.

I'm kind of surprised the current releases are still based on Ubuntu 16.04 - that's quite an old release. They are working on upgrading the base to 20.04, and the switchover should happen relatively soon.
