Apple added a "hidden button" to iPhone 12 that can be used to perform any task

But it first needs to be set up.

The design of the new iPhone 12, which Apple presented in mid-October, includes a "hidden button". It became one of the few elements that did not leak before the official presentation, reports The Verge.

The "hidden button" can be activated using the Back Tap function, which turns the entire back of the iPhone into one continuous button. By double or triple tapping the panel, users will be able to launch various functions on the smartphone.

The Back Tap option is located in the accessibility menu and is linked to the Apple Shortcuts app. Using it, the "hidden button" can be used in any way the user chooses.

The new feature will be available not only to iPhone 12 users. It is also available on smartphones with earlier versions of the iOS 14 operating system. 

A couple of days ago it was reported that Apple is developing its own search engine to replace Google. Meanwhile, one of the latest updates to iOS 14 can already perform the most popular search queries without using Google.

Today, shares fell of a number of technology companies, including Apple. Apple's shares fell by 5.2% after it announced a sharp drop in quarterly iPhone sales.
