- A new third-party app called Pixel ToolBox brings some features to Pixels that aren’t officially supported.
- Notably, one feature includes the ability to double-tap on the home screen to lock the phone, something Samsung Galaxy phones can do.
- The app is free with some ads, but a one-time fee removes ads and unlocks some special features.
When it comes to picking your favorite Android skin, most folks usually come down on one of two sides: One UI, which appears on Samsung Galaxy phones, and Pixel UI, which appears on Google’s Pixel phones. The problem is that one skin will have features the other doesn’t have, which might make picking the real winner difficult.
Thankfully, a new third-party app helps bridge the divide between team Samsung and team Google. Jawomo — the developer behind some popular apps, such as one that brings Apple’s Dynamic Island to Android phones — has a new app called Pixel ToolBox. This free, ad-supported app brings four features to any Pixel phone that currently don’t exist in an official form. One of these features is something One UI users have enjoyed for a long time: the ability to double-tap on the home or lock screens to turn the screen off.
