Hi, I have a problem with my samsung.S twenty four ultra. There was a home but done. Double table or take me to an app. What I used to set, but somehow it does disappear. It's not. It's not taking me anywhere when I double tip my home button. Does anyone know how any abilities? I can't remember it was somewhere in the gesture settings, but I can find this. Anywhere.Please let me know if you know how to set the double tap feature on home button that would take me to an app. What I used to set, but somehow it just disappear. It's not taking me anywhere when I double tap my home button. Does anyone know how to enable this feature? I can't remember but it was somewhere in the gesture settings, but I can find this anywhere. Please let me know if you know how to set the double tap on a Home button so that it will take me to my desired app. Thank you in advanced.

Hi. Yes, of course. I have used the Mode and routine function to use my button for app shortcuts. Anyone can easily make any shortcut apps with the routine option. Long press, or double tap can take you to any app that you set for shortcuts under this option. It's an awesome feature I can't think about it.

@shamma: In order to customise this feature, please follow the steps below. 

Settings > Advanced features > Side button > Double press (On) > Open app (tap the cog to the right) > Select the relevant app. 

Please note that it is not possible to map the Home button to open a specified app, although you can press and hold the Home button to access Circle to search, and Google Assistant.

Hi. I know the side button double tap can take me to a default set app that I set manually. However the home button double tap did also take me to an app that I set previous. Initially, the double tap home button would take me to the google search feature, but I changed it to my desired app. My other gesture seems to be working fine for example, I set back button as a camera if I press for a few seconds, but the home button is not working. I cant remember how I did that 😳

Which previous phone did you have this option on @shamma 

I've looked in the phone's native settings , Nova Prime Launcher, and Goodlocks Navstar plug in ,and cannot find such an option I'm afraid. 


Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Hello. I have been using samsungs24 ultra for a few months and that feature had enabled since I strated using this phone.. It's just today I saw this feature is not working. I also checked goodlock just in case I used that from there but unfortunately I can't find that.

Hi. Thank you for your suggestion. However, that wasn't the solution I was after. I did try that too, but that gave me only a few options to remap the button. Thank God I've just found what I did regarding my app to be in that home button when I double tap it 😄😄

I have the S22ultra and yes, if you double tap the screen when it's idle it opens the phone to use. I was even told that when the network provider in the store showed me how to use my new phone. So you were

Hi. Thank you for your comment. That's a different function. This function is already enabled in my phone. My problem was something else however it's solved 😊.
