    “A while ago, I learned that you can tap the back of your iPhone twice or three times (double or triple taps) to engage any function of your choosing. How I use it: for double tap, my phone automatically pulls up directions to work on Waze (helps me find faster routes, avoid traffic, etc.) for triple tap, my phone creates a new event, so I can quickly book something on my calendar So, definitely make sure to create your own shortcuts first & they should appear in your list in settings once you’ve saved them; otherwise, it will have default shortcuts like opening control center, turning on flashlight, etc. Video #1: how to make your own personalized shortcuts Video #2: how to turn on back tap & set shortcuts that are triggered by double vs. triple tap”
