What are you using double tap / triple tap on the back of your phone for?

I haven't set mine up yet and i'm curious what folks have set theirs up to do?

(For those who don't know, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch , then scroll down to 'Back Tap'. You have two options, double tap and triple tap and they can be set to do different things.)

Didn't know about this new feature. Thanks for the information

Double Tap - Screenshot
Triple Tap - HomeScreen

Edit; I had to change the double tap feature because I was getting a lot of unwanted Screenshot...LOL .
I went with...Lock Device - Double Tap for now.

Double-tap: Reachability. Thank God. It's such hard gesture to do one-handed on an X form-factor phone.

Triple-tap: Control center. Again, using the device one-handed with my left hand, this is fantastic.

Awesome timing! I just figured this out! I'm using double tap to get to my home screen, and triple tap for the app switcher.

I have double tap set up for control center but never use it. I HAD triple tap set up for screenshot but used it too much (accidentally)
