This handy Motorola feature lets me launch apps and start actions without touching the screen

Motorola Razr Fold open flat on the corner of a tray.

Many phones have a convenient "back tap" feature that lets you activate shortcuts without touching the screen. It's more useful on certain phone brands than others — iPhones and OnePlus phones have a dedicated physical button for shortcut mapping. Other phones, like Motorola devices, either have no spare button at all or an AI key that can't be easily mapped to other functions. That's why Motorola's back tap tool, branded as Quick Launch, really comes in handy on phones like the Razr or Razr Fold.

The default action for Quick Launch is to activate Moto AI, but luckily, the feature can be changed to do almost anything. You can launch any app on your phone after setting up Quick Launch, or use utilities to take screenshots, record your screen, or start recording a voice memo. It's the most versatile feature on your Motorola phone you probably aren't using, but you can start today with these steps.
