Change Double-Tap Sensitivity

The double-tap gesture on your Android phone works based on gyroscope and accelerometer. The sensitivity levels can vary from device to device, which will in fact give you different experiences on different Android phones.

Do More Actions By Tapping Back on Android

Taking screenshots by tapping on the back is obviously not the only thing that Tap, Tap can do. You can set quite a few for both double and triple taps. All you have to do is tap on the Add action button at the bottom. Actions are neatly categorized into four categories: Launch (apps), Utilities, Actions, and Advanced.

The app usually has no problems recognizing a double or triple tap gesture has been performed. But sometimes it recognizes taps when there have been none. You can change the back tap sensitivity on the app to avoid accidental triggers.

Using the Tap, Tap app, you can get the back tap gestures from iOS 14 and Android 11 to any older Android phones. Your phone must be Android 7.0 or later to take screenshots by tapping the back of the phone.
