I was playing with a Motorola G72 and noticed this feature by accident: double-tap on the back of the phone to trigger a custom action.
Here is a video showing this feature
This is not the same as double tapping the fingerprint scanner. This phone has a front-facing under-display scanner.
It’s very neat and handy, I hope other phones implement this too.

chop chop flashlight is the very best feature of the Moto series
For real. I moved over to Samsung a while back and I miss choppy choppy light light.
And shake for camera
Honorable mention to twist twist camera
And to twist for switching between main and selfie camera.
Should be noted it’s fairly simple to do this on any Android phone with Tasker.

task - torch toggle
Pixel phones also have this feature, called quick tap. Quite handy to turn on and off flashlight for example.
I use it for quick notifications
Reading the comments, it looks like there are lots of other phones doing this.
Personally I use it to turn on the flashlight on my Pixel 6.
Quite a few phones have similar features. Samsung users can use GoodLock to use the back tap too.
But when I tried in the past, I didn’t like it, too many false triggers.
On other devices, you can use Tap, Tap but it may not work as well
Requires root or a compatible Pixel device…
I just got it working on a non-rooted Galaxy S10
it’s not necessary anymore, I’m using it on a non-rooted phone
Yeah just tried it and it worked!
Xiaomi has it also
This works on Pixels. I have mine set to flashlight.
The two underneath it are lifesavers too.
Yeah both are brilliant design ideas. Only someone who has used a moto phone knows what we mean.
The Pixel series have this. It’s called Quick Tap.
Combined with Tasker, you can make it do anything – if the existing options aren’t enough.
Cool. It’s incredibly useful. Didn’t know Pixels had this too.
Asus has some of these.
Back when I had my Mi A1, I used to run a Pixel 2XL GSI ROM that enabled the same feature.
I used that to take a screenshot, and later, show the accessibility menu when my power button and volume buttons stopped working.
CC: @ladfrombrad@lemdro.id who is the only person I know that still has their A1
The ROM i’m using has it
Which rom and which phone?
