Tap home screen action button instead of swiping

[Elliottsix]

Hello, is there a way to switch action button activation from swipe to simply tap or press hold? I'm not liking that I have to swipe an action to activate it. 

Also is there a way to keep flashlight action available with the screen on but not unlocked? Seems like I need to press the power button for the flashlight action to appear. 

Thanks

If you're referring to navigation, you can switch to button navigation instead of gesture.

As for the flashlight, I personally use the double press power button to turn on/off. This is usable with the screen on or off.

No the lock screen.

Oh I see. Sorry I'm not really sure it's possible.

Hoping they add as feature 😊

I don't believe this is a feature, sadly. Want it to be? Contact Samsung Members > Support, then click on Feedback and share your thoughts.

Hi Elliottsix,

I appreciate that I'm not the only one who likes to tap instead of swipe. 

In case you need guidance. I was able to find that there is an option to "tap" but it only function for alarms, alerts and incoming calls. This can be found within Settings>Accessibility>Interaction and Dexterity> Tap on the "Assistant Menu" wording. Here you will find "Replace swipe with single tap". 

As for the lock screen shortcuts, Good Lock (available in the Samsung App Store) is updating their app to fully function with S25, and this customization app should allow you to set up Lock Screen shortcuts to Tap instead of swipe. 

Thanks!
