Oh, that's cool, but that's iPhone 12 only, right? Not iPhone 11?


It should work on an iPhone 11 as long as you've upgraded to iOS 14. It's supported the iPhone 8 and newer: https://screenrant.com/apple-ios-14-back-tap-iphone-list/


It uses the accelerometer that has already been built in to iPhones going way way back (actually ALL iPhones have at least a 3-axis accelerometer), so that's why there is so much support for older devices.


It was added in iOS 14. Not hardware specific. It works on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It's an accessibility feature that has to be specifically turned on though.


How do you actually make it go 'back' though? I only have options like "home" etc.. ?
