Ajakteman.com is back with a practical guide for smartphone users, especially Realme C71 owners. This time, we'll discuss a frequently sought-after feature, but not everyone knows how to activate it: double-tapping the screen to turn it on or off. This feature not only makes phone use more efficient but also helps reduce the need for the power button, which can wear out quickly if pressed too often.

For new users, or even those who have been using Realme for a while, this feature is sometimes hidden and not activated by default. Therefore, this article will cover complete and clear steps, as well as explain the function of each setting so you don't get confused when trying it out.
What Is the Double Tap Feature?
The "double tap" or "double tap to wake/sleep" feature allows users to turn the screen on or off simply by double-tapping the screen, without the need to press any physical buttons. This feature is very useful, especially when we want to quickly check the time, notifications, or unlock the screen.
On the Realme C71, this feature is already available, but it's not automatically activated. You need to manually enable it through the settings. Interestingly, you can configure two functions simultaneously:
