It turns out that your iPhone can respond to the tap on its back. I recently came to know about the back tap, a hidden gesture that can run the shortcut, open the application, or take a screenshot. And it looks like a cheating code for your phone.
What is back tap and why it is so easy
The back tap is one of those Nifty, but among the hidden iOS features, Apple quietly added the accessibility settings menu. It first appeared in iOS 14 and uses your iPhone sensor to detect quick tap behind the device. You can assign a separate action for double tap and triple tap, giving you two shortcuts that you can also activate without touching the screen.
Whatever taps back is that it works almost anywhere. If you are watching a video, a double-tap can take a screenshot without interrupting the playback. If you are reading, you can triple-tap to scroll down or open the ciri. It is quick, prudent, and feels surprisingly smooth after starting its use.
The best thing is that you do not need the latest iPhone to use it. The back tap works on iPhone 8 and new, until you update iOS 14 or later. And when it is designed as an accessibility feature, it is useful for all those who want to get out of their device.
How to set back tap to your iPhone

It is worth noting that the back tap works only when the screen is turned on. Additionally, any action that you cannot do from the lock screen, only work after unlocking your phone once. For example, if you set back tap to launch the app or run a shortcut, nothing will happen until you unlock your device.
However, actions such as the screen closing or toggling will also work with a lock device. It initially threw me, but once I understood the behavior, it was more understandable. When your phone is in your pocket or bag, you do not want a shortcut to trigger.
Another note: If this facility does not respond, your phone case may be on the way. I have noticed that slim matters work fine, but thick or rugged people can make it difficult for the phone to register the tap.
You do not have to go to Cashesis, but if the back tap seems inconsistent, it is worth testing with the case that is to rule the outside. enable Show banner The option in the settings of the back tap can help with it, as it shows an indication when either the register successfully taps.
My favorite use for double tap and triple tap
After some experiments, I have found some combinations that make my phone more sensitive and personal.
Now, I have a double tap set take screenshotI use continuous screenshots for Instagram advertisements, articles bits, app bugs, etc. – and it is much faster than pressing two buttons. It works even if something else is on screen, which makes it feel comfortable.
For triple tap, I created a shortcut that catches my current location and opens a new note. I use it to track it, where I am working or explore. Triple-tap, type a note, and proceed; It is fast and reliable.
You can also use back tap to run other custom shortcuts. I have tried those who open my two-do list, paste my clipboard in the notes app, or even control the music playback. If you have set an automation in the shortcut app, it is one of the easiest ways to trigger them without digging through the menu.
There are also many underlying options. If you want to read something, the speech screen is very good, and it is easy to assign accessability features such as magnifier or voiceover.
Another gesture I use, an accessibility shortcut, which works a little differently. Instead of tapping the back of the phone, you press the side button three times. Scroll down to bottom Simple use Menu and tap Accessibility shortcut To reach options. Check as much as you want, to re -organize them using the handle. They will all appear in a menu when you trip to the side button.
I set me to turn on Color filter (Setting the screen on Grassscale) When I want to cut on visual chaos or remain concentrated. That setting is usually buried in the Settings menu, but with this shortcut, it is just a quick button press.
