How to Set Up and Use Quick Tap on Google Pixel 7
This post will walk you through activating the Android 13 quick tap feature and set an action for the Pixel 7 smartphone to execute when you tap twice on its back. Here’s a quick guide to set up and use quick tap on Google Pixel 7.
Android 13 Quick Tap Actions
Among the available options include take a screenshot, access digital assistant, play/pause media, see recent apps, show notifications, and open a specific app.
Should you wish to use a quick tap to open an app, just tap on the gear icon next to open app then select the app that you’d like to launch when you double tap on the back of your phone.
Beneath the quick tap actions is a relevant option called Require stronger taps. Enabling this feature is recommended if you encounter unexpected triggers while using quick tap.
When enabled, it will prompt your device to require a stronger tap to carry out the action and prevent any sort of accidental triggers.
Quick tap not working?
If ever you will encounter problems with quick taps like when your phone doesn’t execute the specified action, retry double-tapping its back and be sure to aim for the center vertical line of the phone this time. This is recommended to get the most consistent results.
And that’s how you activate and set up a quick tap gesture on the latest Google Pixel 7 device. The quick tap feature also works on prior Pixel models, particularly Pixel 6, 6a and 6 Pro.
