Speaking of concept features that Android started testing early, it turned out that the features were launched in the official version later than the iPhone. “After Android 11 DP testing but suddenly disappeared in the official versionColumbus“The quick control function of tapping the back cover twice should be regarded as a case that has made a deep impression recently.

The “quick tap” shortcut gesture on the back of Android phone is back in beta!
Although the probability of testing and suddenly disappearing cannot be ignored. But judging from how Google has added some thoughtful options to it. This shortcut gesture function, now officially named “Quick Tap”, should have fixed the problems encountered in development, so there should be a chance to be officially launched (right). According to a report by 9to5Google, Google has once again brought the quick launch function of tapping the back of the phone twice with your fingers to Android 12 DP2 – but it is currently exclusive to Pixel 5 (the editor holding a Pixel 3XL looks far away…).

This feature briefly appeared in Android 11 DP1. In addition to its original features, you can quickly launch various functions such as: Google Voice Assistant, play/pause music, view recently used application pages, take screenshots, display notifications, and even open designated applications. Now, a new option of “Stronger force must be used when tapping” has been introduced.
That is, let’s ignore the logic of “light touch with stronger force” (XD). This may also mean that the previous test may have been unable to be seen in the official version because the probability of false triggering was too high, right? Now it seems that as long as this intensity switching function can provide a better user experience, I believe Android 12 should have the opportunity to import it.
