QB 007: Back Tap on the iPhone

An iPhone feature. I didn’t know this one.

Open Settings>Accessibility>Touch and locate Back Tap. Back Tap lets you set a shortcut to an app or a feature through a double-tap or a triple-tap on the back of your iPhone. Yes. On the back of your iPhone.

I have the double-tap set for the Camera and the triple-tap set for the Magnifier. I need the Magnifier to read instructions on most packages. Getting old has its challenges.

This is a feature which I use a lot.

Thanks Macworld for teaching me this one.
