The question "How do I turn my Apple button back on?" is likely referring to enabling the Back Tap feature on an iPhone, which allows you to trigger actions by tapping the back of your phone. It's not literally an Apple button.
Here's how to enable Back Tap:
-
Open the Settings app.
-
Scroll down and tap "Accessibility". This is where you'll find various accessibility features.
-
Tap "Touch". This section focuses on touch-related settings.
-
Scroll down and tap "Back Tap". This is where you configure the Back Tap feature.
-
Choose "Double Tap" or "Triple Tap". Select whether you want the action to trigger with two taps or three taps on the back of your iPhone.
-
Select an action. A list of possible actions will appear, such as opening the Control Center, taking a screenshot, adjusting the volume, muting, opening the camera, or using Siri. Choose the action you want to associate with the selected tap.
-
Test it out! Tap the back of your iPhone two or three times (depending on what you selected) to see if the action is triggered.
If Back Tap still doesn't work:
- Ensure your iPhone is compatible. Back Tap requires iPhone 8 or later and iOS 14 or later.
- Check for a case that might interfere. Some thick or very rigid cases can prevent Back Tap from registering taps.
- Make sure your fingers are dry and clean. The feature works best with clean, dry fingers.
- Try adjusting the sensitivity. There isn't a specific sensitivity setting, but experimenting with the force and area of your tap can help.
