The ā€œtap to wakeā€ feature is only used with devices that do not have a physical Home button. The ā€œtap to wakeā€ gesture is only available on devices that use FaceID.


For all other devices that have a Home button, ā€œtap to wakeā€ is unecessary. These device can be woken by pressing the Home or Top button.
