The most recent software update of Apple brings about lots of new features for iOS users but here, we would like to point out a very handy button called Back Tap and how you can activate and use it.
Apple released iOS 14 on September 16 and it comes with a feature that allows users to double or triple tap on the back of the phone to execute certain tasks.

Here is how you can activate the button on iOS 14:
Step 1: Open Settings.
Step 2: Choose Accessibility and then Touch.
Step 3: Scroll down and tap on Back Tap.
Step 4: After Back Tap is initiated, choose Double Tap and assign it the function you want it to execute when you tap on the back of the phone twice. Do the same with Triple-Tap.

Many users assign taking a screenshot to the Double-Tap and find the arrangement handy. Some other functions you might want to consider are Siri, Volume Down, App Switcher, Home, Notification Center, Volume Up, Lock Screen, Spotlight, Reachability, Control Center, Shake, and Mute.
If you have made some custom shortcuts, you can use the double tap and triple tap button to access them. Back-Tap can work on the home screen, the lock screen, and apps.
iOS 14 comes to the following Apple devices: 7th-gen iPod touch, 2nd-gen iPhone SE, 1st-gen iPhone SE, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11.
