Google adds screen control features to Pixel phones with Android 16 Beta 4. Users can soon turn off their screens with a double tap, catching up to Samsung devices. According to Android Authority, this hidden code appeared in the latest beta update. The feature might work on empty spaces or any area of the home screens.
Pixel owners previously needed third-party apps for this function. The official release should arrive in June when the stable Android 16 version launches. Google plans additional improvements like the Supervision page connected to Family Link. Many users hope the release stays on schedule.
Samsung already offers double-tap options to both wake up screens and turn them off. This simple gesture makes phone use more seamless for daily tasks. Companies keep adding these small touches to create better user experiences. Pixel fans have asked for this basic feature for years.
