It’s a bit of a hit or miss sometimes. But after using it for a few weeks I “calibrated” myself to tap in the way the iPhone recognizes the best. It’s pretty handy!
And tap lightly not heavily and at specific areas
it’s little harder to back tap depending on the case you have
@@KingCheckOut it relies on the motion of phone since there is actually no sensor on the back so it shouldn't really be affected by the case
@@PSy84 thanks for that tip. The feature was working right about 60-70% of the time for me previously.
I’ve just been tapping too hard this whole time 😅 thank you
It seems to work best when I tap at the top, more or less at the height of the camera
PRO TIP: Itsnot a hit or miss. You are jut tapping on the wrong spot! TAP ON THE SPACE BESIDE THE CAMERA PANEL nd not on the logo. It works 9/10 for me
I added screenshot as my double tap which makes it so much easier than trying to click the volume and home button at the same time
I usually use Voice Control. Other options are Siri and an accessibility shortcut. Back tap doesn't work for me due to my case
Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you’ve confirmed Back Tap is set up per the instructions in the following link, but it’s only working when you remove your case: s.apple.com/dE7c3r9n1K
To look into this, please use the following link to reach Apple directly: apple.co/GetSupport
@@applesupport Thank you for replying. I’m satisfied with the other options available on my iPhone.
i double tap the assistive touch for screenshot
I double tap to lock the phone
I had double tap set for flashlight and triple tap set for camera for a few months and found that sometimes when i put the phone down, the camera or the flashlight would activate on their own. I found this annoying enough to stop using this feature. I also found that with a phone case, tap actions wouldn’t work most of the time. Perhaps there’s a knack to the timing of the taps!
Just put your phone down flat…not bottom first then top where it looks like it’s tapping twice or more
@PS I think this proves that it's flawed and you have to change the way you use your iPhone just to get a feature working
@@rybugor just think maybe setting up a phone to back tap and then letting it slap on your thigh all day isn’t the smartest feature
FYI, if you don’t see “ Live Captions” under accessibility, it’s because your phone’s primary language isn’t set to English (US). This feature is still in the beta testing stage and will be rolled out to other languages soon.
very useful feature please make it more responsible and accurate
I wish you could use back tap with your iPhone in your pocket or sleeping to control music for example.

@@applesupport You know this is why I wish the main Apple channel had comments on. You guys actually respond to comments and feedback. (Though if comments were open on the main channel it would probably be full of phone warring and anti-Mac comments)
most headphones has music controls
I have owed 3 iPhones since 2012 and I’m just finding this out now lol
I assigned a triple tap to show or hide the AssistiveTouch on-screen button. There is nothing more convenient than the custom AssistiveTouch features. I set a long press to take a screenshot, a double press to turn off the screen. And a single tap opens a menu where I can adjust the volume, restart the device, bring in Notification Center, Spotlight, etc.
Thanks. This inspired me to setup Assistive touch.
I think I’ve done it better. I’ve assigned double tap to Assistive touch, allowing me easily show or hide it as required. I haven’t assigned anything to triple tap, as it’s not only clumsy but also slightly increases double tap reaction time.
Coming to Assistive touch, long press (0.30 sec) is set to Lock Screen. I didn’t assign double-tap, as it increases single-tap reaction time a lot.
The single tap menu contains notification centre, control centre, screenshot, rotation lock, spotlight, shake, reachability and camera.
Now everything feels a lot faster😊.
Omg I do the exact same thing
Awesome, just setup double tap for Camera and triple for screenshot!
Ha that's cool I did the opposite double screenshot triple for screenshot both are so helpful;)
Exactly the same lol
Works 20% of the time.
Thank you so much Apple! If I would’ve rated have you made our lives better probably 5.8/7.5. It just saves time.
It doesn’t work if you have on the locked screen.
Back/Tap-Tap …Reachability with one hand!
Thanks, Apple!
Good Initiative 🥂 Mobile devices are designed to keep the users inside matrix.
You said Tap 11 times and it actually makes sense.
I love this feature, however I have had to disable it, it turns out I tap the back of my phone an awful lot without noticing.
I have it enabled for reachability, super helpful!
Can it be done on ipad
Thank you Apple..we love you very much!

Amazing working with case as well
Back tap and the iPhone go to settings app then tap accessibility and again tap touch scroll all the way down then tap back tap choose a action for double tap, choose a action for tap tap tap, triple tap. And you finished press back tap back arrow and you touch triple tap to turn on accessibility shortcuts and all actions you need
I have set up the daoble back tap... and when I put down a phone on the surface (one edge touch surface first, and then the other) - iPhone recohnized that as a double tap.
WOOOOW, this video is early, not like they released back tap 2 years ago or anything
❤ I love this feature. I am always taking screenshots so that’s what I use it for
I added double taps for screen shot and triple taps for lock screen so that I can prevent myself from using any button on the iPhone.
I set this to quick tap and open my camera. Every single time I’ve ever tried to do it, it doesn’t work. Yet I pick up my phone or have it sitting on the passenger seat and hit a pothole and the camera comes on.
Ive been doing this on my android for a year now. But on my ip 14 pro max its a hit or miss. Sometimes i even need to tap it so hard as i have phone case
The problem is I forgot what I set it for and now the phone does random operations that I can’t remember.
Thank you for reminding me - I will now turn it off.
You can go too far you know…..
Me using it since 2017 or 18 since iPhone 8
HOW DID SO FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS THAT APPLE HAD TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT?!?!?! I literally use it everyday
It never works consistently
This double tap doesn’t work while screen is off…would’ve been a cool hack for the flashlight
Amazing…just tried it will be very useful, Apple is the best!❣️✨💫
except it doesn't work most of the time
Thank you for letting me update to iOS 16.6
I wonder what other features in this device people don't know about...
hasn't back tap been a feature for a while now?
Where to tap exactly? Only apple logo? Not working properly on iPhone 14 pro
Back Tap work when you tap firmly on the back of your iPhone near or on the Apple logo. Additions to your iPhone such as cases, wallers, or battery packs could prevent the feature from being recognized. See: s.apple.com/dH1x6n6g4Y

thank you apple support ❤
You need iOS 14 for this future
I had to turn mine off because when I’m driving and it’s on my mount it triggers the back tap and hides my maps or will start speaking the screen because of the vibrations from driving.
Explain the type of firmness u mentioned 😶🤔
Apple i have a question does it work on ipad’s

Thanks

It's a BAttery Killer!
Does it work when phone is locked
Thanks for your question! If the function you’ve assigned to back tap can be used without unlocking the phone, back tap can be used, see apple.co/3s14uxw for details. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us using apple.co/GetSupport.
And……..
You forgot to mention that any case will dull the sensitivity of the phone so you will end up tapping it gently at first, to no avail, then harder and harder and harder until you give up….
Tested by yours truly with a very nice Mous cover and an Amazon clear silicon cover. Both chunky covers I admit - but I’d prefer a protected phone over another option I don’t personally use.
So there you have it another five million views lifestyle review…..
Who am I kidding 😂😂😂😂😂
please make iphone truecaller compatible
I know I kept accidentally setting it off
What if the action selection do not have the app tat I wan..?

Not me watching this while I'm using an android
Had no idea... Works on my 11 Pro Max
I never knew it could do that
I just tried it but I don’t see a use for it because the response time between the taps and the actions are too slow, and the commands offered are limiting
Man that’s the hidden button Thanks for revealing
It does not function reliably with a case on .
Is it affect the battery?
Does it work with a phone cover on
