iPhone 8 and above are available, the biggest drawback is easy to touch
Apple iOS 14 has released many new features. In addition to the “small components” highlighted on WWDC, we also discovered one of the new features “click on the back”.
Apple did not spend a word on this feature on WWDC, making it an “Easter Egg”. However, its function is very powerful, and it feels like a huge “function button” has been added to the back of the iPhone. You can DIY a lot of content through it, almost only limited by your imagination .
how to open?
1. Open “Settings”
2. Select “Accessibility”
3. Select “Touch” in the “Action Interaction” column
4. Select the bottom “tap back”
5. You can choose “Double tap” or “Tap three times” according to the setting
Prerequisite: iOS 14 system has been upgraded
Supported devices: iPhone 8 and above support iOS 14 devices (if it is iOS 14 Beta 1, only full screen iPhone is supported)
Where is it useful?
The biggest highlight of this feature is that it can be used in conjunction with the “Shortcut Instructions” App of the iOS system. If you use the “Shortcut Instructions” frequently, you will know its power very well. You can activate various “shortcuts” for daily use by “tap the back” without opening the “shortcuts” app for selection.
You can “tap the back” to open the office software and clock in to and from get off work;
You can “tap the back” to open WeChat or Alipay App and quickly scan the code to pay;`
You can “tap the back” to quickly record your weight.
These “shortcuts” can also be found in our forum. If you can write your own “shortcut”, you can only say one thing: the sky is your limit.
It’s okay if you don’t use “Shortcut Commands”. You can complete simple system and auxiliary functions by “tap the back”, such as “screenshot”, “lock screen”, “adjust volume” and “control center”. The function is also very practical.
Shortcomings
Apple did not mention the principle of the realization of this function, but it is understood that this function may be realized by using the gyroscope and motion sensor inside the phone, supplemented by the blessing of the algorithm .
To say that its biggest problem is that it is easy to touch by mistake. When we use a mobile phone, it is very easy to touch the back whether it is held with one hand or with both hands. If you set this function to “screen capture”, your photo album may leave a variety of screenshots.
At present, this function is not supported on the iPad, and the response speed is still relatively slow. The judgment algorithm needs to be improved. Maybe it is not intended for ordinary users.
All in all, this feature may be relatively tasteless for some users, but for those who know the iPhone very well, it will definitely make you enjoy it.
