Double Tap Screen On and Off

Double Tap Screen On and Off restores the convenient gesture control that Android removed starting with version 8.0. If you miss the ability to wake and lock your screen with a simple double tap, this app brings that functionality back to your device.

Wake your screen effortlessly with a double tap gesture, eliminating the need to press physical buttons or use other unlock methods. The app works seamlessly on your home screen and lock screen, giving you quick access to your device whenever you need it. Screen activation becomes faster and more intuitive, especially when your hands are full or you're using your phone one-handed.

Control screen lock with customizable tap gestures tailored to your preference. By default, the app uses triple tap to activate screen off, reducing accidental locks from stray touches. You can adjust the number of taps directly in the app settings to match your comfort level—whether you prefer double tap, triple tap, or another configuration. This flexibility prevents unwanted screen locking while typing or working on your home screen, since you can temporarily deactivate the feature through the notification panel.

The app respects your device's security and uses industry-standard Android permissions responsibly. It requires accessibility services to detect your gestures, which is used exclusively for the app's core functionality with no additional data processing. Device Administrator permission is needed for the screen-off feature. If you use fingerprint authentication, disable it before using the app to avoid interference with tap detection. You maintain full control—activate or deactivate double tap locking instantly via the notification, or adjust tap sensitivity in settings.

Uninstalling is straightforward. Simply tap the in-app uninstall button, or manually remove Device Administrator permission through System Settings > Security > Device Administrators before uninstalling normally. If you can't deactivate the permission, restart your device and try again.

Double Tap Screen On and Off is completely free to download and use. Experience the convenience of gesture-based screen control without the cost. If you enjoy the app, leave a five-star rating or review—your feedback helps improve future updates and is greatly appreciated.
