I’ve been using Neo Launcher for a while as a Nova replacement and it’s pretty good. Both of those features are included as well as things like shortcut actions when you double tap or swipe on the home screen.

Bungie didn’t do it. It was a community member just having laugh.

You’ll be glad to learn that rumor was actually just a joke. It came from a joke TWiD post that went the rounds on Reddit and YouTube but isn’t real. Don’t worry, Kotick isn’t joining Bungie.
