You can take screenshots or launch the camera with a back tap.

Have you heard about the Back Tap feature available on iPhone 8 and later models running iOS 14 or newer? As the name suggests, you can activate functions by lightly tapping the back of your iPhone—the camera side—like a quick “tap-tap.” What can it do? A lot: launch Siri, take screenshots, turn on the flashlight, and more.

It also integrates with the Shortcuts app, so you can open any app you like, send a prewritten message to a specific contact, and find many other convenient uses depending on your ideas.

There are plenty of handy shortcut “recipes” shared online, so if you’re interested, definitely look them up.

Can put a call on hold

Did you know you can put a phone call on hold? It’s very simple—just press the “mute button.” Then, hold music will play for the person on the other end.

On the flip side, some people may have been using the mute function without realizing it plays hold music.

On call apps like LINE, it only turns off your microphone, so that misunderstanding makes sense.

Try using it when a delivery arrives or when you need to step away to the restroom.

By the way, during hold, a guidance message plays first, followed by music.
