New Samsung Feature: Double-Tap the Back of Your Device to Check Time, Even with Screen Off

Samsung is working on a new feature for its Galaxy devices that will allow users to check the time by double-tapping the back of their locked device, even when the screen is turned off. This functionality, called 'Check Time with Back Tap,' was first discovered in an update for Samsung's RegiStar module within the Good Lock app. The feature is expected to be available initially on Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 and later expand to other Galaxy devices through the One UI 7 update.

The 'Check Time with Back Tap' function works differently from other back-tap actions as it functions even when the screen is off. This feature aims to improve accessibility, especially in situations where reading the screen is difficult, such as in direct sunlight or when the phone is in a pocket or purse.

Samsung has not yet announced an official release date for this new feature. However, it's expected to be a welcome addition for many Galaxy phone users who are looking for more convenient ways to access essential information.
