I know you're a senior but use Google. If you want to know if your phone can do something, Google it. If nothing pops up put Reddit at the end. Best of luck.
Mine has about 30 options but it is the newest model. It is the first current model I ever owned and it is wasted on me. I knew some of these options like shake to remove but I did need a faster way to turn on the camera. My phone already has a flashlight button on the front when you turn it on. I know because I often press it by accident. I did not know until I just looked that I could turn this off. I call my youngest daughter when I need to know something about my phone. Thank you.
You’re almost right. The Apple logo is not a button. I use this feature all the time to quickly and easily mute all the sounds on my iPhone. You can double tap or triple tap anywhere on the back of your iPhone to run the command that you specified in the settings. By the way, , it’s a toggle. If you triple tap on YOUR iPhone a second time, it will turn off the light.
@@sophiacromwell8017 Did you assign the flashlight to either double tap or triple tap? If by double tapping or triple tapping on the back of your iPhone, turns on the flashlight, then by double tapping or triple tapping on the back of your iPhone, will turn off the flashlight.
@@sophiacromwell8017 It didn’t know that that was the function you wanted to activate FROM ITS ORIGINAL SETTINGS…..??? Well…..imagine that….. that’s just rude, your iPhone should treat you better than that! /s
On pretty much any Android phone, you've been able to double tap the power button to turn on the camera for several years now. But I guess iPhone's finally catching up. Hahahaha 😂🤣
@@roadrunner40 yeah, I loved that feature on my Moto phone. So damned handy. I missed it so much when I moved to a Samsung. Does anyone make an app to mimic the Moto gestures?
I discovered that I could turn my light by shaking the phone. I found out when speaking with someone face to face and was moving my hand while with phone 🤳. Cool find
Mine a. one plus 6 T mobile Double press power button to turn on camera. Three fingers swipe for screenshots. Double tap to turn on screen. Just raise phone to ear to answer calls.
You have been able to do this for a long time now. Definitely back in the days of my iPhone 11. I’ve always used it for screenshots. Just so much simpler.
It is a good one, but not a button. The SmartPhone just measures the impact on the phone with the IMU sensor (acceleration). It does it either way continuously. But if you use the function, it checks for the acceleration pattern of the double and tripple taps. You can use other positions than the logo to tap, as long as the impact is strong enough. And rythmic enough for counting as a pattern tap. That is why it is working also with the protection on. It dampens only a bit, so you might need to tap a bit harder with a case.
You can actually program the double tap and triple tap to perform functions other than turning on the flashlight and the camera. Just scroll down on the list of functions to select which functions you want it to do.
You can tap it ANYWHERE on the back, the logo is not a button... you can also just swipe left on the Home Screen even if the phone is locked to open the camera app.
I have an android and I can do all of this. I don't have an "apple" button but you can assign different actions like flash and camera to double tapping or even shaking the phone
I'll have try this with my daughter phone later this is cool. She will love this. Cause she can't just shake her phone get light or camera to pop up. This is some easy access lol
Thank you. I have run into that setting before. I know where all the setting are. It didn't know that I had to tap the apple icon. I thought I could tap anywhere in the back. I thought I could tap with a case on. I never worked.
Thank you. I had no clue. Yes, it works with my charge friendly case on. I’m not sharing this with my son-in-law because he actually does know everything. He probably knows this hack too. 😂
I double tap for screenshots and don't have triple tap set up for anything. I saw it on a video I watched after one of the big updates. I have to watch a video to see all the new features and what to turn on/off after an update. Oh and it's not the Apple logo that does it. I've got an Otter Box Defender case on my phone and it still works if I tap anywhere on the back.
Usually the easiest things are both fun and just a bit infuriating. The power on button on my first Gateway desktop nearly did me in. Nothing in the manual after the full set up and I didn’t know the symbol. It was the early 1990s and I knew how to write a bit of code, could type but it took quite a bit to reach someone to help from the house landline.
With the motorola phone all you have to do is shake the phone a little to turn the light on and off. Super handy when you need the light on immediately.
My Android phone has dozens of accessibility settings like this that you can customize to do whatever you want. And has been this way for probably 15 years
Yes and on most you can assign different actions, meaning you can change double tapping the power button into a different action besides opening the camera
Omg!! You have changed my life!!! I'm a Senior & with arthritis... this is huge!! 🎄♥️
I know you're a senior but use Google. If you want to know if your phone can do something, Google it. If nothing pops up put Reddit at the end.

That is crazy. Why don't the damn sales people tell people about half the stuff that's on the phone.
They probably don’t know themselves
@@colleenarezio32 Apple used to offer in store classes, but no longer do that.
I go to the orange “tips” button weekly. New tips all the time
It would take too long.
Because most, if not all of it, ain't worth knowing.
Im still not buying an apple phone, i don't care if it comes with an automatic a$$ wiper attachment. Just sayin
😅😅😅
You don't have to. If you have an Android, you should be able to double tap your power button to bring up your camera
I dunno man, those automatic a$$ wipers are pretty sweet> 🤣
Apple doesn’t miss you.
No I stuff for us
Omg! Mind blown! I just set up my phone. Thanks!
me too! An iPhone SE!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, right. It doesn’t work at all.🤨
Are you telling me you had IPhone 40 years ago??
Ain't no way😂
😂😂
Ain't no wayyyyy😂
Thinking the same thang hahaha
That’s knee slappin’!
Thanks, just hooked mine up.

It didn’t turn OFF my flashlight!! I had to turn off my phone in order to turn off the flashlight… 🤬🤬🤬

Yup. Doesn’t work for Camera but does in flashlight. Thanks for the incremental tip!
Yep. It's using the accelerometer, not any sort of button.

This isn’t the power button.
With Motorola, turn sideways in chop chop, flashlight on. Wiggle the side to side, camera on.

@@bobmcl2406 got a Samsung last year couldn't find an app to mimic those features.
@@roadrunner40I knew about chop chop. Discovered it accidentally. Didn't know about wiggle wiggle. Thanks for the comment.
I never knew that! Awesome. Just changed my settings too!!! Thank you!!
Did it work
SAMSUNG GALAXY also comes with "back tap" feature!
I use it for screenshots but you can assign it to do whatever.
I've never had an apple phone, never will, they are probably watching you!! 😂👀☠️
They do watch
I will buy an apple when they can wipe your nnn
Definitely 😂😂🇮🇪
The iphone takes an IR photo of the user every 10 secs or so...!
And Google, whose whole business plan, is to harvest as much personal information as possible, to sell it doesn’t?
You have just opened my world and blew my mind… and yes I tried it straight away 🤯🤯😂😂
I’ve been double tapping for years. It works with your case in too!
You are flipping HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well I be damn. Never to old to learn something new! 🥰
I am not buying any smart phone, until they come with your own personal time machine 🙃😏👍
when he said "for 40 years I should've been double tapping the back" had me thinking something else. 😂😂😂
Omg! 😮 WTF?!? Amazing. Thank you from a fellow Hadley! 😃
That's crazy man, I never knew I was supposed to read the owners manual!
What owner’s manual?
That’s friggen crazy. I’m totally computer/phone illiterate and I just don’t know these things. WOW! It works !!👏👏👏
Good info. Thanks.
Legit did not know this 😂😂. Thank you 🙏
I have mine set for camera. Been doing it for a few years. Love it. ❤️
Lol,..im going to revisit the whacky races,with that laugh😆😆😆👍🏻
Mine a.
one plus 6 T mobile
Double press power button to turn on camera.
Three fingers swipe for screenshots.
Double tap to turn on screen.
Just raise phone to ear to answer calls.
Your channel is great!
Easy way to turn on the camera without the subject knowing. Could be good in a safety situation.
Excellent point.
Whoa... and it even works with the iPhone in a protective case. Nice. Thanks for that.
Just wait till you ask Siri to turn it on and off. Hey Siri Lumos!! 😂😂😂
I just did it for my flashlight! I didn’t know that either. Thanks🤗
You have been able to do this for a long time now. Definitely back in the days of my iPhone 11. I’ve always used it for screenshots.
Just so much simpler.
Done - Thank you for this one (UK) ❤
When the title said double tap the back I didn’t think it was gonna be about phones 😂

Omgosh it even works the case! So glad you tried that, too! Awesome!!!! 🌈
I know CRAZY!!!
🤡
I have an old version, but I feel like seeing if this works, if I have the setting. You’re so happy about it too 😂❤
For Android just give the phone 2 shakes and the flashlight comes on. None of that tap setting stuff. 😂
That Muttley laugh is crazy work though😂
“Wheeeeeeze!” Ha! 😅
You can tap it ANYWHERE on the back, the logo is not a button... you can also just swipe left on the Home Screen even if the phone is locked to open the camera app.
Another winner Dustin. Yeppie
What do you think about the iPads and that setting?? 💥💥💥

Love it! Thank you!

I got that on my android, only it's 2 chop motions for flashlight and 2 side motions for camera. I didn't even have to go to settings. 😅
Sumbitch!! It even works through a phone case
It helps to scroll thru the settings, ya learn a lot.😊
Yep

Did it work?
@@p.o.p2077 the double tap to camera works perfectly, the triple tap doesn’t work (for me)
It works with my case 👍
Well you learn something new everyday 😂 I just set it up lol 😂😂😂😂
40 years ago, these phones did not exist!
It's amazing the things you learn if you read the instructions.
Unbelievable!! Thank you so much for sharing that. I have missed so many photo ops because it takes so long to get to the camera app.
People need to learn what the word unbelievable means.
Thanks! I just learned something new! My head hurts
Thank you!
Ain’t no way! It worked! Thanks 😅
LOVE YOUR INFO
I learned this a few months ago! so cool
WellI can say is WOW!!! That there is some state of the art technology.
Thanks!!!
The logo is not a button, the tap works anywhere on the back and uses the accelerometer to detect the tapping.

It works thanks 😊
I have the magnet disc on the back. Double does work, triple - not for me anyway!
With the motorola phone all you have to do is shake the phone a little to turn the light on and off. Super handy when you need the light on immediately.
Or it comes on in your pocket
Thank you. It definitely worked.
This is available on Android too, but I'm not sure what the minimum Android version is. It's in the gestures section though.
Does this work on an IPad as well?
I look forward to your videos
Excellent info!
My Android phone has dozens of accessibility settings like this that you can customize to do whatever you want. And has been this way for probably 15 years
So cool! Unfortunately, I have a pop socket on the back and it doesn't work with one of those on 😞
Yes it will, you can tap anywhere, not just the logo.
That’s right Dustin. Pound the shyt out of it to get ur camera on 😂
Cool, thank you for sharing this info.
Now I'm going to need to look on my iPod Touch 7 (I have an Android phone). 🤔
All you have to say is Siri turn flashlight on. Or Siri turnoff off flashlight. Better yet Siri Lumos (Harry Potter). Or Siri Nox
Very nice Dustin but, when my iPhone is on wallpaper I have the camera and flashlight icons at the bottom.
Doesn’t work with protective cases (the heavy duty type). Must be thick enough to keep the tap from registering.
I want a lawnmower for Christmas 😊
Guy bought his iPhone in 1984. That to me is the real magic.
beautiful !!
On android double tapping the power button brings up the camera. Double tapping the back turns the flashlight on or off on newer Android phones.
Yes and on most you can assign different actions, meaning you can change double tapping the power button into a different action besides opening the camera
It's on our Androids as well and other settings shaking tapping twisting turning over etc motorola
Holy crap, I did not expect it to work my old ass iPhone, and certainly not with the case on!
Oh thought you were joking this is cool! It does work even with a case.
@@cp-sh9nj yes, it works with a case. because, really, there’s no button. You can tap anywhere on the back of the phone for this to work.
Thank you. :)
I just tried it and it works even with my cover on my phone.
Who knew this trick would be delicious!!
Shut The Front Door!!!!
That wheezy laff...😂😂😂
I’ve known this since I had my 1st phone (the iPhone XR) from 5 years ago-ish.
How do people not know these things?!?!??
Just put your camera on and go settings and put your torch on
