There is a ‘secret button’ on the back of your iPhone

[UK Sentinel]

The option to use the feature has been available on Apple handsets for years – but this video has highlighted the button to thousands of people who never knew it existed.

The feature, called ‘Back Tap’, is an accessibility feature designed to help navigate around the iPhone with a bit more ease.

It is activated by tapping the Apple logo on the back of your phone two or three times.

This feature needs to be set up in Settings and options for Back Tap includes screenshots, opening up apps and even using Shazam.

How to activate Back Tap
Back Tap can be activated on iPhones 8 or later, and users will need to be on iOS 14 software at least.

To get this feature:

• Open Settings
• Go to Accessibility
• Tap on Touch
• Scroll down and tap on Back Tap

Once there, activate Back Tap with the green toggle, which then will give you the option to assign two shortcuts by tapping the feature twice or three times.

The feature can be amplified when paired with Apple’s Shortcuts app, which allows for some detailed automated processes that can be activated with the same tap.
