Configure a “back tap” to open the camera
- open settings
- tap on accessibility
- tap touch
- Scroll down and press back tap
- hit double tap
- then tap camera
- Tap the back arrow in the upper left corner
- Select triple tap and select screenshot
Now all you have to do to quickly open the Camera app is double-tap the Apple logo on the back of your phone. Tap it three times to take a screenshot.
If this configuration does not work for you, please note that some thicknesses may make this feature more difficult to use. However, it will still work in most cases.
Another thing to remember is that cadence is important. If tapping doesn’t work, try tapping a little slower or faster until you find the right cadence.
You can also watch a short video explaining this tip on our YouTube short (embedded below), Instagram reel, or TikTok.
