    I wanted to use it for flash and screenshots. I used to initiate both options without intent left and right so I disabled it.

    I tried, but I’m in a vehicle a lot, so it constantly would think I was back tapping and just didn’t work for me.

    I use it since it went viral but the next day I totally forgot it was a thing, the thing is, it’s very inconvenience. You spent your time mostly on touches and suddenly a back tap is not in your muscle memory.

    Yes, it launches a shortcut that takes screenshot and copies it in clipboard, not leaving it anywhere else. Very convenient.

    I only use the triple tap for flashlight and that’s when it works. 9/10 times it doesn’t work when you want it to, and comes on randomly cause it thinks you tapped the phone 3 times somehow when it barely works when you tap it 3 times perfectly in the center of the apple logo in the perfect way not too hard not too soft… its barely functional, but the fact my flashlight comes on at least twice a week by itself when I don’t mean for it to, I will never run anything on the double tap cause it’ll go off and do whatever the action is all on its own but not work when I am intentionally trying to. Kinda a useless feature. Even with a caseless phone it barely works right. Honestly better off having it set like Motorola had theirs, doing a double or triple air chop while holding the phone. Use the phones accelerometer and gyroscope to do it instead of a tap that the phone barely ever registers.

    It’s a great idea but incredibly unreliable and frustrating. I had to turn it off.
