Back Tap = Secret Productivity Button

Back Tap is one of those accessibility features that most people will love once they try it — and it can make productivity a bit easier.

This feature lets you assign functions that are triggered by double-tapping or triple-tapping the back of your iPhone. For example, you could open Notes, start a timer, run a Shortcut, and more.

This basically gives you two extra buttons on your iPhone, which you can customize to do anything you need. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and go to Accessibility.
3. Scroll down and, under Physical and Motor, tap Touch.
4. Go to the bottom and tap on Back Tap.
5. Tap Double Tap or Triple Tap, and then choose the action you want your iPhone to do.
