How to activate functions with taps in iOS 14

One of the novelties that we have available in iOS 14 is that of activate functions by tapping on the back of our iPhone. This option, which is directly related to Accessibility, caused quite a stir when it was discovered in the beta version as it did in its day the option to activate a pointer on the iPad. In any case, the important thing is that now with the public versions of iOS and iPadOS we can activate this function on the iPhone, so let's see what are the steps we have to follow to do so.

Double or triple press as it suits you

This option, which in principle is specially designed and created for people who have some kind of physical problem that prevents any action on the screen, can be used by double or triple pressing on the back. Each of them can activate or deactivate a function and we can configure it to our liking. Logically this option is available in the beta versions of iOS 14 so use the tutorial that we have made and that we leave above to install the public beta if you do not know how to do it.

The first thing we have to do is access: Settings> Accessibility> Touch> Touch back and right in this menu we find the possibility of configuring an action by pressing on the back of the iPhone with your finger. You can lock the screen, take a screenshot, open the control center, activate the Siri assistant or whatever you want.
