“If you enable this feature for screenshotting, I’d recommend setting it to triple tap to avoid accidental screenshots,” another individual recommended.

Curious? To get the most out of Back Tap on an iPhone, follow these instructions.
How to turn on the iPhone’s back tap:
First things first: an iPhone running iOS 14—which was published in September 2020—is required to enable Back Tap (sorry, Android users).
Upon obtaining the appropriate specification, navigate to Settings to activate the feature. Click ‘Accessibility’ and then ‘Touch’.
The ‘Back Tap’ option should be visible if you scroll down.
Choose between the Double and Triple Tap options now, and select from a list of different actions that you can actually enable with a tap!
Imagine being able to double-tap to activate the Shazam feature.
It’s also possible to fast take a screenshot by triple tapping.
It’s also important to note that the double and triple settings can be individually controlled by your single Back Tap button.
After deciding which features to use, you should be able to access your preferred actions by touching the back of your phone two or three times.
