There is a new option called "show banner" in the back tap settings. Toggle it off so that the on-screen Back Tap notification won't appear. This option is introduced and only available after the recent update.

To improve my understanding of the phenomenon, it would be highly beneficial if you could share a full screenshot (Do not crop it). Visual representations carry a greater impact than written descriptions.


Please remember that this is a public forum, so when attaching a screenshot, please avoid including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.



With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.

Hi, I believe I have the same issue as the OP. I cannot add a video but I’ve attached a screengrab after doing a double tap. I’ve had double tap enabled since it was first introduced but this is the first time I see an alert. It’s annoying and it blocks off whatever that might be at the top of my screen. I’d like to disable this alert; I reckon it’s got smth to do with the recent update.

Hey ya. I have exactly the same issue. After recent IOS updates, there is a notification alert whenever I do a double tap. I set double back tap to screenshot. Now every time I double back to screenshot, the notification showing up and visible in the screenshot. Can this be disabled or something and keep my screenshot clean?
