Hey iPhone fam! 📱✨ Have you explored the Back Tap feature on iOS? It lets you perform actions with a quick tap on the back of your phone. Share your experience and any cool uses you’ve discovered! 🤔👆 #iOS #BackTap #iPhoneLife
Yes because my ring switch doesnt work so i use back tap to mute and unmute it.
Yes, I’m using it to lock my iPhone.
All the time. Two for Lock Screen, three fire screenshots.
Double tap to lock. Always works for me.
It’s a great idea but incredibly unreliable and frustrating. I had to turn it off.
Does not work with my case and the apple symbol is exposed.
Don’t use and never have used it
yeh, to turn on and off the lights on my room
Yes, but cases make it tough.
I use triple tap with a shortcut to add the current playing song to my library, makes adding new songs while driving a breeze
That’s super handy, I want that too! I tried adding that in the settings, but couldn’t really find a suitable option in the “Back Tap” menu. Does it have to do with the Assistive Touch? Also, can you tell if this will work with Spotify, or if it’s only exclusive to Apple Music? TIA!
It’s not under the default settings, you need to setup a shortcut using the shortcuts app, I’ll show mine it’s very simple, once u make the shortcut then u can select it if u scroll down to the bottom of the list in the back tap menu, I don’t have Spotify so I can’t say anything specific but I’d assume that you can make shortcuts for it as well
Thank you! Now I got it! :) I’ll try adding the Spotify shortcut as well.
Update us if u get it to work
So I tried and made some research, and I wasn’t able to create a Shortcut for Spotify. However I was able to create the same kind of Shortcut for Apple Music like you did. Some source on the internet suggested that there used to be a Shortcut option for Spotify at some point (like in iOS 13 or something?) but that it doesn’t exists anymore. Couldn’t find info whether or not it will come back anytime soon. If someone has more up-to-date information, please let us know.
Anyway, I decided I’ll be switching to Apple Music from Spotify, since I’m already in the Apple ecosystem and one of my family members is already using Apple Music.
Thank you for letting me know about the Shortcut, it’s been enlightening to me. I’ve been looking into other Shortcuts now as well, and they too will make my life easier. :)
I find Apple Music more convenient since I have an apple ecosystem as well, glad ur making the switch!
a lot
- to take screenshots 2x tap
- to lauch shazam shortcut 3x tap
love it
I wanted to use it for flash and screenshots. I used to initiate both options without intent left and right so I disabled it.
I have it turned on but I rarely use it. Its just one of those features you forget is there until you accidentally click it
I tried, but I’m in a vehicle a lot, so it constantly would think I was back tapping and just didn’t work for me.
I use it since it went viral but the next day I totally forgot it was a thing, the thing is, it’s very inconvenience. You spent your time mostly on touches and suddenly a back tap is not in your muscle memory.
