Google's long-awaited double-tap-to-lock feature for Pixel phones is finally coming to fruition, according to recent updates in the Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 build. This feature, first spotted over a year ago, allows users to double-tap an empty area on the lock screen or home screen to turn off the display. The addition of 'Home' in the feature's description suggests that users may soon be able to use this gesture on either screen. Google has also added strings pointing to a dedicated settings page for the feature, allowing users to enable or disable it. This indicates that the feature is still in development and could be expanded beyond its original scope. While it's not yet available, the updates suggest that Google is making progress towards a more useful and versatile gesture for Pixel users.
