Screenshot with a Tap of the iPhone
The new feature is part of the Accessibility options in iOS 14. It lets you tap the back of your phone to take a screenshot. And setting it up takes just a few moments. To get started head to Settings > Accessibility > Touch.
Now under the Touch screen scroll down until you see “Back Tap” and select it. Then on the following screen tap either Double or Triple tap for the number of times you want to tap the back of your phone for the action to occur.
Now on the following screen tap to select “Screenshot” where a blue checkmark will appear next to the selection.
Close out of Settings after that. Now the next time you want to take a screenshot on your iPhone you can simply tap the back twice or three times depending on what you chose. Just like doing it the traditional way, the shots will be saved to your photo album. The accessibility feature uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to detect if you have tapped the back of your phone. Of course, this works for actions other than taking a screenshot. You can set it to turn the volume up or down, enable the Magnifier, and other options. This is a helpful new feature that makes it easier to take screenshots. Depending on your phone, the default way to take a screenshot either turn your phone off or always adjust the volume. This way is also easier as you don’t need to use two hands for a physical button combination. Now you can easily use one hand to take a screenshot when you need it.
