When the back of iPhone is tapped, an action will be carried out.

A double-tap can start a playlist on your HomePod, for example, or a triple-tap can launch the Camera app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>To enable this feature on supported iOS 14 devices:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<ul>\n<li>Open&nbsp;<strong>Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Venture to&nbsp;<strong>Accessiility<\/strong>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<strong>Touch<\/strong>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<strong>Back Tap<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Choose an action for the double tap as well as the triple tap, if you so choose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>In our testing, it works with the iPhone X and newer, though we will likely have to wait until iOS 14 is fully released to know what devices support this specific feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<p>This is just one of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/20\/06\/22\/apple-unveils-ios-14-and-ipados-14-with-major-home-screen-changes\">many new features<\/a>&nbsp;found in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/inside\/ios-14\">iOS 14<\/a>.
