Double-Tap to Wake Coming Back to Windows 10 Mobile Devices which Support it

Double-Tap to wake up is one of the most used, and favourite features among all Mobile users. This feature turns on the device from sleep with just two taps, giving a relief from power buttons, specially during night. This feature had been there long since Windows Phone 8, but was dropped from Windows 10 Mobile like many features.

Good news is that by popular demand, this feature is coming back to the devices which support it. Confirmed by Goran P, a Microsoft engineer, that Microsoft is working on adding the support for double tap to wake for devices that support this feature. This was posted on the feedback hub where the request received around 198 up votes.

One of the major reason this feature went missing is the port battery life, but that happened with glance screen as well. In fact Glance screen is still hard on the battery, and I expect double tap will even take sometime to improve after first release.
