Moto X just loves providing the simple but very useful stuff don’t they? And there is nothing wrong with that because we love it. The QuickCapture double twist gesture is just one example as you can start the Camera app with a simple double twist of your wrist.
Now Motorola is adding another action (in the Android 5.1 update) that will allow you to quickly open the flashlight by moving your phone twice in a chopping motion. Google had already added a quick way to open the flashlight through the Quick Settings, but this is just one extra way to do it. It should work even when the phone’s display is turned off, making this even quicker.
You will find the setting for “chop twice for flashlight” in the Moto app under Actions. Just make sure it’s enabled. Again, this is only for the Android 5.1 update, which for now, is only on the Pure Edition Moto X 2014. We expect this update to hit other carrier versions soon.
