iPhones and action discoverability

I've found this to be nearly useless in practice because it fails to register the back taps accurately enough to be reliable.

Which is probably why Apple isn’t pushing hard for everyone to know about it.

You have to adjust your grip so that you can robustly tap the back with your index finger (holding the phone firmly between the other four fingers and your palm/base of your thumb). I agree that it’s not really practical.

Is this a reference to "You're holding it wrong"[1]?

It wasn’t my intent, but yes that’s vaguely similar. :)
