Android 13 is currently running on the beta 4 update ahead of the official release. If you want to experience it, you’ll need a Pixel phone to try it out. In Android 13, Google made a small change in the Quick Tap gestures, and it can toggle the flashlight.
With Android 12, Google brought the Quick Tap feature, which is the ability to double-tap the back of your phone to launch specific functions, like taking a screenshot, launching Google Assistant, playing/pausing media, or opening any app or action within that app — i.e. launcher app shortcuts.
All these features of Quick Tap are still there, but now Android 13 brings a flashlight there too. No more messing around with the notification shade to turn on the flashlight in a dark room. Now you can turn on the flashlight with a double tap on the back of the phone.
Since there are so many ways to launch the Assistant or take a screenshot on the Pixel, I won’t waste this extra shortcut on them. The flashlight is a good option to turn on by Quick Tap gestures. Here in this article, we will see how you can turn on the flashlight using Quick Tap on a Google phone, without wasting time let’s get started.
