Missing double tap to SLEEP on Android Oreo's Home Screen(XZ Premium)

[walzero]

I have an xperia xz premium G8142, Android 8.0.0, HomeScreen Version 10.2.A.4.1, and after checking online, many people say that it exists on the homescreen menu after a long press and entering configuration, but the option isn't here, is it available on Android 8? The phone says that it is up to date.

@walzero the option has been removed after oreo update as far as I know.

EDIT: Let me try to get more info on this.

EDITx2: You have XZ premium, moved your topic to the correct board and the answer is your device does not support double tap to sleep.

I have just upgraded to the Sony XZ Premium and can not locate in any of the settings where to enable you to double tap home screen to sleep. 

Does the Sony XZ Premium even have this feature??? 

I have tried all the suggestions yet I can find no switch to enable this feature. 

I enjoyed this feature on my 2 previous Sony Experias and hope that this is down to user idiocy and not that it does not exist on this model.

Please Explain

@LuLu9 the XZ Premium indeed doesn't have the double tap to wake/sleep feature.

Hello Sony, 

Your decision in removing double tap screen lock for Xperia XZ premium was not fair. Kindly provide an update or Sony application for getting the function.
