Back Taps feature

[AlHaj]

This is a feature found on Android 11 beta and current iOS 14.

Essentially tap the back of your phone 2 or 3 times to run an action eg take a screenshot, turn on flashlight etc.

It uses the phone's existing sensors such as the accelerometer to determine when someone taps the back of the phone 2 or 3 times!

What a great idea!

There's apps in the play store already, was actually on the pixel devices during the 11 beta, got canned though. Think Apple borrowed that idea for their version of it.

@AlHaj,

Thank you for this idea! 😊 I'd also love to have this feature available on my device! I've just forwarded your suggestion to our development team! 😀
