Since iOS 14 it’s possible to launch actions when double- or triple-tapping the back of our iPhone.
Actions can be related to:
the system itself, like muting the phone, taking a screenshot, launching control centre or notification centre
accessibility features, like launching the magnifier or zooming the screen
automation created using the Shortcuts app (these are mine)
and even scroll gestures
To configure this:
Open 'Settings'
Tap on 'Accessibility'
Tap on 'Touch' (1st option for the Physical and Motor category)
Scroll down and tap on 'Back Tap'
Tap on 'Double Tap' or 'Triple Tap'
Choose the desired action
What a pleasure to simply tap the back of my iPhone twice to make a screenshot 🙂
And you, which Backtap actions have you configured on your iPhone?
