Previously Google was found to be studying the double-tap gesture function on the back of the phone. If the user double-tap the back of the device, it can start the camera, Google Assistant, play and pause music, and other functions on the Pixel device equipped with the Android 11 system. Apple has successfully implemented this feature in iOS 14 and allows users to double-click and triple-click on the back of the phone to initiate various operations. It now appears that Xiaomi MIUI 12 is also studying similar functions.
According to foreign media XDA developers, the code in the latest MIUI 12 beta indicates that Xiaomi is also developing the tap gesture function on the back of the device. These taps will be double taps or triple taps, and different actions can be assigned to them. The code in MIUI 12 indicates that this feature is under active development.
The current range of functions for the double-tap and triple-tap gestures on the back of MIUI 12 seems to be limited to taking screenshots, turning on the flashlight, launching the control center, launching the camera, or opening the notification center. However, since this function has not yet been opened to the outside world, Xiaomi may expand the scope of this function.
It is not yet known when Xiaomi will release this feature to users and hope it will be launched as soon as possible.
