Using Back Tap to open the camera fast
By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026
Short answerGo to Settings › Accessibility › Touch › Back Tap, choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, and pick Camera or a Shortcut. It opens the camera quickly; it doesn't press the shutter for you.
- Works with most cases, but very thick cases can stop it registering.
- Triple Tap avoids accidental triggers in a pocket.
- Pair it with a Shortcut that opens the camera app you use most.
Music Wide Selfie is planned to support Shortcuts and Siri so you can open straight into a recording mode.
