The Touch Back function of iOS 14 brings a new functionality to our iPhone. Now, with a double or triple tap we can perform actions such as taking a screenshot, activating the spotlight or accessing the Control Center. A function designed for accessibility, but that can give us a lot of play when using our iPhone.
Spotlight, screenshot or Siri, all with a double tap
The first thing to keep in mind when activating this function is which devices it is compatible with. Touch Back is compatible with the iPhone X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max and the SE of 2020 as long as we have iOS 14 installed . Regarding the covers, we must say that Touching back will work with the vast majority of covers, however some very thick or padded ones can give some errors.
Well, having seen the requirements, we can configure this function. Remember that we can assign an action to the double touch, as well as another action to the triple touch , we will do it like this:
- We open the Settingsapp on our iPhone.
- We enter Accessibility.
- We entered Touching.
- We played on Play back.
- We tapped on Pulsar twice.
- We choose the action that we like the most.
- We played <Play back.
- We enter Triple tap.
- We choose the action.
As simple as that. Keep in mind that among the default options for actions we will find the shortcuts that we have created in the Shortcuts app . This means that, automatically, the possibilities of Playing Back are practically unlimited. From setting up a HomeKit scene to updating our news feed, just to name a few.
Once configured, using Touch Back is as simple as tapping the back of your iPhone a couple of times. Remember that this part is not tactile like the screen, so without the need to pound on our phone, we will need some vigor in the touch .
What do we want to disable Play back ? It is very easy, we simply follow the same steps that we have just seen, but when choosing action we select None . Of course we can also configure just a double tap or a triple tap independently.

Apple dedicates a large amount of resources to the accessibility of its devices, from zoom mode or screen reading, just to name a few examples. There are so many options to facilitate or allow the use of the device in certain situations that many times we all benefit from these functions.
