MAKE THE MOST OF BACK TAP

-

Back Tap Shortcuts work best when you think of them just like Control Center actions.

DO NOT DISTURB

If you’re really busy, the last thing you want is to be adjusting settings to help you concentrat­e.

Instead, create a shortcut that enables Do Not Disturb mode and assign it to Back Tap. Two quick taps and any distractio­ns are neutralize­d.

SEND A PAYMENT Paying a friend is easy with Back Tap. Create a shortcut with the Send Payment action, set it to ask for the amount every time, then choose the recipient. This shortcut is particular­ly handy if you often pay the same person but need to specify a different amount of money each time.

OPEN THE MAGNIFIER Struggling to read something? Assigning the Open Magnifier action to Back Tap solves this problem in an instant, giving you a quick way to zoom in on anything you point your device at.
