How do I turn on double tap lock on Samsung?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

To turn on the double tap lock feature on your Samsung phone, follow these steps:

1. Start by accessing your phone’s settings. You can do this by swiping down from the top of your screen and tapping the gear-shaped settings icon, or by finding the settings app in your app drawer.

2. Once you are in the settings menu, scroll down and look for the “Advanced Features” option. It may be located under different labels depending on your Samsung phone’s model and software version, such as “Additional Settings” or “Advanced Settings.”

3. Tap on the “Advanced Features” option to access the advanced features settings.

4. Within the advanced features settings, you should see a section called “Motions and Gestures.” Tap on this option to open the motions and gestures settings menu.

5. In the motions and gestures menu, you will find various options for controlling different features of your Samsung phone. Look for the setting labeled “Double Tap to Turn On/Off Screen” or something similar.

6. Once you have located the “Double Tap to Turn On/Off Screen” setting, toggle the switch to turn it on. This will enable the double tap lock feature on your Samsung phone.

7. After enabling the double tap lock feature, you can now test it by double tapping on your phone’s screen. If everything is set up correctly, your phone’s screen should turn on or off depending on its current state.

Keep in mind that the exact location and labels of these settings may vary slightly depending on your Samsung phone model and software version. However, the general steps should be similar across most Samsung devices.

Using the double tap lock feature can be quite convenient, as it allows you to quickly lock or unlock your phone’s screen with just a double tap. This can be especially useful if your phone’s power button is not easily accessible or if you prefer a gesture-based method of locking and unlocking your device.

I hope this helps you enable the double tap lock feature on your Samsung phone. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
