Auto-clicker and automation apps are tools that help automate various tasks, functions, and operations on your Androiddevice. Auto-tapping apps typically work with a movable or floating control panel,allowing you to start, stop, and pause your taps. Automation apps canperform automatic clicking or tapping and can be programmed to carry out nearly any action your device can perform.
With the use of triggers, actions, and constraints (macros), automation apps can help you get the most out of your phone or tablet. If you want to automate gaming actions, system maintenance, or practically any function or action your device can perform, theseauto-tapper apps can deliver without requiring root access.
These apps should work no matter which manufacturer made your Android phone: Samsung, Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.

Adjust the click delay, duration, and the timeout period as necessary.
