Screen Off

Is the physical off button on your phone damaged or broken? The Screen Off app offers us a digital button for turning the screen off with just one tap

A touch button to turn off your Android screen

Screen Off is a system tool for Android devices that provides a touch button to turn off the screen. In other words, it replaces the physical lock screen off button.

Forget the mechanical off button

Setup is easy. The first time the app is launched, a warning appears stating that using the app requires blocking permissions to be enabled.

After enabling it as an administrator app (as described in the instructions on the user interface), we can start using it. Clicking on the icon (which can be placed anywhere on the desktop) turns off the screen immediately. To wake the screen again, you have to enter the pattern or unlock code.

To access the settings menu, you need to hold your finger on the icon for a few seconds. Here you will find instructions on how to use the app and a button to uninstall it immediately if you are not happy with it.

All in all, downloading the APK file offers us a simple and free tool to turn off the screen with a tap. It's not particularly pretty, but it's functional, especially if your phone's real power button doesn't work that well anymore.
