How to Use Back Tap on Your iPhone — Even on a Refurbished One!

Back Tap is one of those handy iPhone features that often go unnoticed. But if you’re looking to make your iPhone experience smoother and more efficient — this feature is a game-changer. The best part? It works perfectly on many refurbished iPhones, including the ones we offer in our store.

In this post, we’ll explain what Back Tap is, how to enable it, and why it’s a must-try — even on a pre-owned device.

What Is Back Tap?

Back Tap is a feature in iOS that allows you to perform specific actions by double or triple tapping the back of your iPhone. You can assign it to actions like:

Taking a screenshot,

Turning on the flashlight,

Opening Control Center or Notification Center,

Launching apps or Shortcuts,

Scrolling up or down.

This feature is part of Apple’s Accessibility tools, but it’s super useful for anyone who wants faster, more intuitive controls.

How to Enable Back Tap on iPhone

Turning on Back Tap is easy — even on a refurbished iPhone running iOS 14 or later:

Open the Settings app.

Tap Accessibility.

Select Touch.

Scroll down and tap Back Tap.

Choose either Double Tap or Triple Tap.

Select the action you want — like Screenshot, Flashlight, or a custom Shortcut.

Which iPhones Support Back Tap?

Back Tap is available on devices running iOS 14 or later, starting from iPhone 8 and all newer models.

If you're shopping for a refurbished iPhone , make sure it's one of the supported models — and good news: we’ve got plenty of them in our store.

Why Use Back Tap?

Simplicity – No need to press multiple buttons. Just tap.

Speed – Instantly launch essential features like the flashlight or camera.
