TikToker @jane_affairs left viewers stunned with her revelation that the back of an iPhone can actually be used to take screenshots by adjusting the accessibility settings.

Tired of fumbling with the iPhone side buttons to take screenshots?

Thanks to one social media user, millions of peoples' lives were suddenly made a whole lot easier.


The minds of over 6 million TikTokers were blown away after discovering that the Apple logo on the back of iPhones was not there just for aesthetics.

It also serves as a functioning button to take screenshots.

TikToker Jane (a.k.a. @jane_affairs) shared the Apple device hack in a clip with an overlaying text that read:

“You are today years old when you knew that this is an actual button."

You can see the clip here.



To activate the function, iOS mobile users need to click on "Accessibility" under the device's Settings.

Next, hit the "Touch" button under the Physical and Motor category.

If you scroll deeper, you'll find an option for “Back Tap," which is off by default.

There, you can customize the function through double or triple-tapping to enable specific tasks, like muting your phone, taking a screenshot, or turning the flashlight on or off.

People shared their experiences and thoughts about the one-touch screenshot-taking capability.

Those who've felt completely left in the dark about the hack needn't fret.

The easy function was implemented when iOS 14 was rolled out in September 2020, when our minds were occupied worrying about other things, like the global pandemic.

But who knows what other secrets the iPhone is keeping from users?

Maybe figuring them all out entails being left to our own devices.
