Android 15 features: Everything you need to know about the latest Android version
How To Get IOS 14's Hidden Back Tap Controls On Your Android
iOS 14 and Android 11 will add new "back tap" gesture controls when they roll out later this year, but you can get the feature early on any Android device running Android 7.0 or higher right now. (iPhone users can install the iOS 14 beta for an early taste of the back-tap life, too).
To launch actions on your Android by patting it on the back, you'll need to download the Tap, Tap app—an open-source Android app developed by Keiron Quinn. It used to available in the Android 11 beta before Google yanked it out of subsequent test builds. Before that, Android 11 beta testers could double-tap to open their phone's camera, call up Google Assistant, grab and screenshot, or use it as an accessibility shortcut.
Tap, Tap restores that functionality and ports it over to other Android devices as well.

Quinn built Tap, Tap with the same settings that Google used to tune the double back-tap gesture performance on the Pixel 3XL and Pixel 4/4 XL phones, so it should work pretty close to the real thing. That said, Tap, Tap is only in alpha and some features aren't fully implemented yet.
Tap, Tap's performance will depend on your device; the closer it resembles the Pixel 3XL, 4, or 4XL in size and shape, the better the response should be. It's also possible that thick phone cases could interfere with Tap, Tap's functionality.
What do you think so far?Those considerations aside, Tap, Tap reportedly works well on a variety of Android devices. Quinn demoed Tap, Tap with a OnePlus 7T Pro, XDA Developers reports the app runs on the Asus ROG Phone 3 and Huawei P40 Pro, and I can confirm it works just fine on my trusty Pixel 3a XL with Android 10.
Here's how to get Tap, Tap running on Android devices running Android 7.0 or higher:

Download the Tap, Tap .APK onto your phone from Quinn's XDA forum post, or his GitHub page.
After it's downloaded, tap to open and install the file. Confirm you want to install from unknown sources if prompted.
After the installation is done, open Tap, Tap from your app screen.
Tap the "Accessibility Service" banner at the top of the main menu. This opens your device's Accessibility settings.
Select Tap, Tap from the downloaded services menu.
Tap "Use Service" then "Confirm."
Close the Accessibility settings then return to the Tap, Tap app window.
You can now configure Tap, Tap to work however you want. There are several settings and customization options available, but here are some important ones to consider:
You can change the sensitivity and gesture model under "Gesture controls." You can pick between the Pixel 3XL, Pixel 4, or Pixel 4XL gesture models; try to find the one that best fits your phone's dimensions.
Go to "Actions" to change what double-tapping does. Use "Add more" to add new ones.
"Gates" lets you disable the gesture at certain times, like when you're on a call, charging your phone, plugged into another device via USB, or if the display is off. You can add more exceptions with "Add more."
Report: Tap Tap Revenge Is IPhone's Most Popular App
With Apple providing only infrequent updates to the status of the App Store, and with those largely confined to telling us simply how many applications are available for sale, it's little surprise that third parties have taken it upon themselves to try and figure the breadth and depth of the market.
On Tuesday, comScore, a market research firm that specializes in Internet-related data, released the results of a survey of U.S. IPhone owners that provides insight into which applications have the highest market penetration—that is, are most frequently installed by users.
According to comScore's data, Tapulous's Tap Tap Revenge (pictured) is the most popular app, with 32 percent of iPhone owners having installed the game, followed by Stylem Media's Backgrounds—an app I'd admittedly never heard of before—at 27 percent and FlipSide 5's Touch Hockey: FS5 at 26 percent. Indeed, 12 of the 25 top installed applications were games, with the top non-game applications, aside from Backgrounds, being social networking clients like Facebook and MySpace. Many of the top applications are free—including Tap Tap Revenge and Backgrounds—with Namco's $6 Pac-Man being the top paid app on the list at fifth place.
In addition to the installed base numbers, comScore has used its data to provide other information about iPhone app customers: for example, they are three times more likely than average Internet users to visit gaming Web sites and social network and entertainment sites like Twitter, Hulu, and Digg. They also tended to be from wealthier households, being 32 percent more likely to belong to one making at least $100,000 per year; more than 54 percent come from households earning $75,000 or more annually.
ComScore isn't the only firm studying the iPhone application market. Pinch Media, a company that provides ads and analytics information to iPhone developers, has also been collecting information. In a blog post, Pinch Media co-founder and CEO Greg Yardley said that comScore's findings meshed with his company's own statistics and suggested that the combination of comScore's data with Pinch Media's own could yield more information.
Calculating from the two sets of numbers, Yardley concluded that the number of devices running iPhone applications is between 22 million and 23 million, which is close to three-quarters of the 30 million devices that Apple said it had sold as of the end of 2008. It goes to show that the App Store has permeated deeply into the fabric of what makes the iPhone such a desirable device, appealing beyond just those users who are technologically savvy.
