Back Tap
Also known as: Back Tap Gesture
An iOS accessibility feature that allows users to trigger actions by tapping on the back of their iPhone two or three times. Back Tap can be configured to activate shortcuts, accessibility features, or system functions without requiring precise touchscreen interaction. For people with visual impairments or motor disabilities, Back Tap provides an alternative input method that works regardless of screen orientation and can be performed while holding the phone naturally. The feature is particularly valuable in hand guidance scenarios where users need to interact with their phone while simultaneously reaching for objects.
