Hi everyone and welcome to the iPhoneTricks.org
YouTube channel. In today's episode I'll show you
how to set up the new iOS 14 'Back Tap' feature that allows you to
trigger quick actions on your iPhone just by double or triple tapping
the back of your iPhone. So, let's dive right into it! To enable the feature and
set it up we have to tap on 'Settings'. Then we have
to scroll for 'Accessibility' and
tap on 'Touch'. Now, we scroll all the way down
to the 'Back Tap' label. Notice the explanation: 'Double
or Triple tap on the back of your iPhone to perform
actions quickly'. Tap it and now we have to set
the quick actions for these gestures. First for the double-tap. We have
either the option to choose the 'Accessibility Shortcut'.
Next, we have some system functions including 'Control Center',
'Lock Screen, 'Reachability', 'Screenshot'. Then we have some Accessibility Features,
Scroll Gestures and you can also assign a specific shortcut from your Shortcuts
app. Okay, to demonstrate this feature i'll
select the 'Control Center' for the
double-tap and for the triple-tab
i'll pick 'Assistive Touch'. Okay, so after activating the iOS 14 back tap
feature we return to the home screen to demonstrate it.
I'll take the iPhone in my hand and please notice what happens
when i double tap it! One, two... 'Control Center' pops up. I double tap
again: one, two... 'Control Center'
disappears. One more time, one, two...
I'll slide it off this time. Next, I will triple tap: one, two,
three... Voila! The AssistiveTouch menu button is displayed.
If i triple tap again it disappears. You can edit the quick actions from the
same Settings menu. Tap on double-tap or triple-tap and
select something else, for example, 'Notification Center',
or perhaps 'Screenshot' would be more useful,
because it prevents you from simultaneously pressing the
Side button and the Volume-Up button. You only have to double-tap the back of the screen
and you'll have a screenshot! Let's test it out:
one, two... Screenshot done!
For the triple tap you can also assign another quick action.
Anything available here on the list including
shortcuts. I would suggest 'Accessibility Shortcut'. However, for
this to work you have to have the Accessibility Shortcut configured. This
is done from the main Accessibility menu. Another quick iOS 14 tip allows you
to long-press and go all the way back to Accessibility.
Here you scroll to the Accessibility Shortcut label,
where you can pick the one that you desire.
I hope that these iOS 14 tips are useful for you!
