Samsung's next update might include a feature you'll probably never use


In the future, you might be able to double-tap to check the time on your Galaxy phone.

As spotted by tipster Tarun Vats on X (formerly Twitter), Samsung is developing an update for the RegiStar module in the Good Lock app, which will supposedly introduce a new feature that allows you to tap the back of your phone twice to check the time (via 9to5Google). With RegiStar, you can change what happens when you long-press the side key and set actions like taking a screenshot with a double-tap on the back of the device. The new update will add a feature allowing Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 users to check the time by double-tapping the back of their device, even when the screen is turned off.
