On an iPhone with Face ID, you can triple-click the Lock button or Side button to unlock special features.

The same is true on Touch ID iPhones – but you’ll triple-click the Home button instead.

Once you set up an Accessibility Shortcut, you can triple-click to perform certain functions.

You can change the functions at any time in the Settings app.

There are plenty to choose from, but some are more useful than others.

Magnifier is extremely handy as it turns your iPhone into a magnifying glass for reading small text.

AssistiveTouch adds a virtual Home button to your Face ID iPhone.

Background Sounds lets you quickly start a soothing track – including rain noise.

This can be great for getting off to sleep, or when you need to concentrate.
