How to view tap points in BlueStacks 4

How will this help? 

With BlueStacks 4, you can get visual feedback on various clicks/taps you perform with your mouse. This article will guide you on how to enable a setting that allows this. This is useful in various scenarios such as:

  • When you are creating macros.
  • When you are using macros. 

NOTE: Enabling this setting can have a adverse affect on your performance. If you happen to face any performance issues, please turn this setting off. 


How can I enable this?

If you cannot see these, please ensure you are on BlueStacks version 4.200 or above. You can download the latest version of BlueStacks from here.
