Galaxy A50/A50s: How to turn on/off quick start (press power button twice to open camera)

Most Android phones have a mechanism to quickly launch the camera. Starting with Marshmallow and now Nougat, you can simply double tap the power button on any Android phone, including the Nexus range, to open the camera.

When you press the power button twice, your phone will vibrate to indicate that the camera is ready to use. While this feature can be useful, you'll find yourself launching the camera more often by accident than when you need it.

If you don't use this feature and keep accidentally opening your phone when carrying it around or putting it in your pocket, Google offers an easy way to disable the feature.
