And, we’re going to throw in a bonus tip to show you how to take a screenshot faster than ever. The two tips are related, as you’ll see. Also: Apple’s M2 MacBook Air: ZDNET Product of the Year
Configure ‘Back Tap’ to open the camera
Now, all you have to do to quickly open your camera app is to double tap on the Apple logo on the back of the phone. And if you tap on it three times, it now takes a screenshot. If you configure this and you’re having a hard time getting it to work, keep in mind that some cases will make it more difficult to use this feature, depending on how thick they are. But, it will still work with most cases. The other thing to keep in mind is that cadence matters. If you’re tapping and it’s not working then try tapping a little slower and/or a little faster until you find the right cadence. You can also watch our short video walking through this tip in a YouTube Short (embedded below), Instagram Reel, or on TikTok.
