In this guide, we will show you various methods to enable the double tap to turn off the screen on your Pixel 7 Pro. The devices from Silicon Valley behold a clean stock OS experience with just the right amount of features, or is that really the case? Well, there are a few handy functionalities that are absent in the Pixel ecosystem which the rest of the OEMs comes built-in with.
These include the need to tap on the checkmark after typing in your PIN, the positioning of the Clear All button in the Recent Apps list, and the fact that you cannot double-tap on your Pixel 7 Pro screen to turn it off. What is interesting to note is the fact that it comes with the option to wake the screen with just a single tap, it’s just that you cannot put the device to sleep using that gesture.
With that said, there exists a slew of nifty workarounds [both root and non-root] that should help you add this functionality to your device. So without further ado, let’s check them out.

Enable Double Tap to Turn off the Screen on the Pixel 7 Pro
There exist numerous rooted and non-rooted methods that will helpyou get this job done and we have listed all of them below. You may try out the one that is in sync with your requirement.
Non Root Methods
- Super Status Bar: this handy third-party app beholds a slew of intriguing features when it comes to interacting with your device’s Status Bar, including the ability to enable the double tap to turn off the screen on your Pixel 7 Pro. So grab it from Play Store and test it out right away!
- Screen Off Widget and Tile– A small sized with just one single option- turn your screen off by double tapping it.
- Double Tap Widget– This is a widget with no app UI that would allow you to lock the screen on double tap. Created by XDA Senior Member madgit, it is closed-source and is not available in the Play Store either [you’ll have to download it from his post itself].
- Tap Tap: Allow us to take some liberty and deviate slightly from the path. This nifty app beholds a truckload of nifty features [over 50+], including the ability to turn off your Pixel 7 Pro screen via double tap. But there’s just one string attached- it works by double tapping at the back of your device rather than the front [screen]. Still, it is quite an impressive app and deserves your attention.
Root Methods
- AOSP Mods: As of now, this is the best module for your Pixel device. It does everything [and more] that your Pixel device decides not to [or perhaps cannot]. Definitely an app that I cannot stop recommending enough to every rooted user. Flash it using LSPosed.
- Pixel Launcher Double Tap to Sleep: This module for your Pixel Launcher is built for just one task: to enable double tap to sleep functionality on Pixel Launcher. Flash it using LSPosed.
