If you’re confused as to why you don’t know how to use the back key on your Samsung Galaxy phone, that’s okay. It’s not actually a standard feature, but it’s easy to download via the Samsung app and set up to your liking.
The back gesture has been around for a while on other phones like the iPhone and Google Pixel, but Samsung just got into the action with the help of its Good Lock app. It works similar to what iOS offers, letting you set up two different commands depending on whether you double-tap or triple-tap the back of the best Samsung phones. Follow the instructions below and you’ll be setting up double-tap and triple-tap functionality on your Galaxy in no time.
You’ll need a Samsung phone running One UI 5, the company’s version of Android 13. Currently only available on all Galaxy S22 models.
It may also work on Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy A53, A33 and A73 models depending on your location and/or mobile provider. Samsung should be rolling out One UI 5 to more phones in the coming months, so if you can’t enable back tap yet, check out this how-to.
You’ll also need Good Lock, an app from the Galaxy Store. You may already have this app installed, but if you don’t already, we’ll start our steps by installing this app on your phone.
1. Install Good Lock from the Galaxy Store app. This is a Samsung-made app with many optional software features that you can enable and disable as separate modules. If you’re interested in adding more to your Galaxy, it’s worth diving into it.
2. Open Good Lock after installation and select the Life Up header from the bottom. Then scroll down to find the RegiStar module and click the download button on the right.
3. Click the blue install button to install it on your phone. Give it a few seconds to download.
4. Now that RegiStar is installed, open it from the Good Lock screen where you found it. You’ll see this menu where you now need to press Back-Tap.
5. Now it’s time to set the post-tap! First, use the switch at the top to turn it on.
6. Next, tap a double tap or triple tap to set one of the preset commands.
7. Select any command from this list that you think might be useful. For example, I set a double-click to open the recently used application interface, which is convenient for switching tasks.
8. Before leaving this menu, decide if you want to enable event detection notifications.
When you use back, this displays a small popup (close-up below) at the bottom center of the display, which helps remind you if you accidentally double-tap or triple-tap and the phone starts doing an unexpected action when the feature is active .
9. Now you can try the feature yourself. As you can see in the GIF below, by double-tapping the back of the phone, I can toggle the recent apps screen on and off without touching the screen. Of course, you may get different results depending on the function you selected in step 5.
