The new iPhone operating system offers significantly more features than Apple actually announced Many new features are currently being documented, including Back Tap.

Wouldn't it be cool to open the control center by double-tapping the back of the iPhone? Yes - iOS 14 makes it possible. A Apfelpatient discovered the feature. According to this, users under iOS 14 can activate a quick action by double or triple-tapping the back of the iPhone. Users can use it, for example, to switch apps, lock the screen, take a screenshot and more. There are a total of 23 different actions to choose from - shortcuts can also be integrated.

How to enable Back Tap on iOS 14

To activate the feature, you need to open the “Accessibility” section in the iOS settings. Now navigate to the “Tap” item under “Physical and Motor”.

Here you select an action for a double tap and a triple tap. Once you have made your choice, you can get started - thanks Mathis. By the way - the feature also works with an Apple case and is available to all users with an iPhone X or newer.

Important note: iOS 14 is currently only available to registered developers. In July, the first preview will also be available to participants in the public beta program. If you actually have a second device and want to participate, you can find a comprehensive guide below. I will guide you through the entire process – from installation to completion. (Photo by New Africa / Bigstockphoto)
