Pixel phones may soon receive a 'double tap to turn off screen' gesture in the Android 16 QPR1 update.
The setting for this gesture is expected to be located in the Settings app under System > Gestures.
However, the double tap gesture to turn off the screen will reportedly only work on the lock screen, not the home screen.
This feature aims to provide a convenient way to turn off the screen without having to reach for the power button, especially when the phone is on a table or stand.
