TL;DR Samsung has released an update to the RegiStar Good Lock app.
The update improves the reliability of the Back Tap feature.

Some Android phones let you double-tap the back cover to activate various features, and Galaxy phones are no exception. Samsung users need to download the RegiStar Good Lock app to access this function, and the company has just updated the app for more reliable back taps.

Samsung has updated the RegiStar app (spotted via SamMobile), and while this doesn’t introduce new features, it improves the Back Tap feature. More specifically, the changelog notes that it improves Back Tap stability and also fixes a Back Tap “function error” while in power-saving mode.
