How to control iPhone without touching the screen in iOS 14

When Apple introduced iOS 14 in June, the company spent a lot of time demonstrating features that could change the home screen and apps like Safari, messaging, and Siri. However, iOS 14 also contains many other new things. The most attractive feature is the 'Back Tap' feature that allows you to perform multiple tasks on the iPhone by touching the back of the device.

Back Tap is available on iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Here's how to use it:
