Thanks Gary for the useful info. My second generation iPhone SE does seem to support Back Tap. I tried double and triple tap for control center and a couple of other options successfully.
Not quite correct. Back Tap works on the iPhone 8 onwards, including the new SE. It certainly works on my 2020 SE.
Peter: Interesting. Things must have changed since the original introduction of the feature during the betas.
Gary, I’m using double tap for screenshots and triple tap to open Halide Camera app. I use Halide to allow portrait mode pics on objects & pets, since the SE’s single lens can’t do the depth sensing natively.
Sorry Gary, But I have an iPhone Se 2nd generation and I have the Back Tap With iOS 14
Marc: That's great. I heard that it only worked on phones with Face ID, and that's all I had to test on. Glad it works with other phones too.
Gary, is Mute on/off the same as using the side button Mute on/off?
Karl: Yes. If you try it you'll see it does exactly the same thing. (Silent Mode).
I have a connected central heating system that also has a couple of smart light bulbs. I had one of the bulbs switch on with a double tap, and off with a triple tap, which was kinda cool. However, I also find the double tap too easy to trigger accidentally, so I now only use the triple tap - and use it for Siri (Alexa controls my heating/lights anyway)
I have an SE 2 and double tap works! I set it to open Control Center.
