D’oh! The popular game Fortnite may be gearing up for its most dad-centric, delightfully weird crossover yet.

According to trusted Fortnite leaker @ShiinaBR, four iconic animated TV fathers — Bob Belcher of Bob’s Burgers, Hank Hill of King of the Hill, Cleveland Brown of The Cleveland Show and Homer Simpson of The Simpsons — are coming to the third season of the popular game as playable skins in honor of Father’s Day this weekend.

A representative for Epic Games, the company that owns Fortnite, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While Epic Games hasn’t officially confirmed the lineup, evidence is piling up. Three of the four skins have already been spotted in the game files and a connection with The Simpsons has been teased through official channels, adding more fuel to the hype. 

Fans first speculated about a King of the Hill collaboration in May after «Propane Specialist» assets referencing Arlen, Texas, were found in-game.

It’s a clever twist on Fortnite’s usual pop culture mashups, tapping into animated comedy royalty to celebrate fatherhood in all its awkward, endearing, burger-flipping, beer-drinking glory.

We’re a few months out from the release of iOS 26, which will introduce a whole new look to the iPhone. But what if you’re still holding on to an older iPhone that won’t get the new Liquid Glass redesign or Apple Intelligence for screenshots? What if you’re itching to try out something new like the Camera Control button on the latest models? 

Good news: There’s a hidden feature that lets you quickly activate your iPhone camera without unlocking your device or touching the screen, and it works on some fairly old devices. All you need to do is set up the secret «button» on the back of your iPhone.

You can use this feature to not only launch your camera app, but also turn on your flashlight or activate Shazam to identify a song before it ends. You can summon your iPhone’s Control Center or Notification Center without having to swipe down from the top of your screen. In fact, with a little bit of imagination, you can use this feature to perform almost any of your phone’s functions.

The feature is called Back Tap, and like the Action Button on newer iPhones, it gives you one more way to interact with your device without touching the screen. You can activate it by tapping anywhere on the back of your phone, including on the camera module. The best part is that it works even if you have a fairly thick case on your iPhone.

Back Tap is available on iPhones as old as iPhone 8, as long as they’re running iOS 14 or later. We’ll show you how to enable it and how to use it with your Shortcuts app for nearly endless possibilities.

What is the iPhone Back Tap feature?

Back Tap is an iPhone feature introduced in iOS 14. It lets you perform shortcuts on your iPhone by double or triple tapping on the back of the device.

You can customize Back Tap on your iPhone to easily perform common actions like pulling up the Control Center or Notification Center, especially useful if you have a larger phone and can’t swipe down from the top of the screen without some complex finger gymnastics. You can even have two separate functions enabled at the same time: Back Tap can distinguish between a Double Tap and a Triple Tap.

Depending on the number of times you touch the back of your iPhone, you can set Double Tap to open your Notification Center and Triple Tap to take a screenshot. Or, you can make Double Tap open the Control Center and Triple Tap launch the Magnifier app. Experiment with Back Tap to find the right combinations of taps and functions that best fit your needs.

And you aren’t just limited to the Back Tap options that are available by default. Thanks to the Shortcuts app, you can set up Back Tap to perform specific functions or launch any app. For example, you can create a simple shortcut that opens Shazam or starts a voice recording, then activate it with a quick Double Tap or Triple Tap. You can also use Back Tap to trigger a more elaborate shortcut, such as automatically sending photos and videos to specific photo albums.

How do I set up Back Tap on my iPhone?

To enable Back Tap, go to your Settings app. Then go to Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap. There, you’ll find a list of options for configuring Double Tap and Triple Tap.

Here is the full list of functions that you can map to a Double Tap or Triple Tap:

• None

• Accessibility Shortcut

System

• App Switcher

• Camera

• Control Center

• Flashlight

• Home

• Lock Rotation

• Lock Screen

• Mute

• Notification Center

• Reachability

• Screenshot

• Shake

• Spotlight

• Volume Down

• Volume Up

Accessibility

• AssistiveTouch

• Background Sounds

• Classic Invert

• Color Filters

• Control Nearby Devices

• Dim Flashing Lights

• Live Captions

• Live Speech

• Magnifier

• Smart Invert

• Speak Screen

• VoiceOver

• Zoom

• Zoom Controller

Scroll Gestures

• Scroll Down

• Scroll Up

At the bottom of the menu, you’ll also see a list of Shortcuts. These options will vary depending on what’s available in your Shortcuts app.

The one potential downside to Back Tap is that you don’t get any tactile feedback when you use it, so you might accidentally trigger it at the wrong time and not realize it until later. For instance, you might double tap without meaning to and set off your flashlight by accident. In that case, you might want to remap your Double Tap to a less conspicuous function. Or, you can leave Double Tap off and only use Triple Tap, which you probably won’t trigger as often.

How do I use Back Tap to take a quick photo?

One way to set up Back Tap is to map Double Tap to the Camera and Triple Tap to Volume Up or Volume Down. Because you can press either of the volume buttons to instantly take a picture, you can get the same effect if your volume buttons are mapped to Back Tap. With this combination, you can capture a photo with five quick taps on the back of your iPhone (though you’ll have to pause briefly between performing the Double Tap and Triple Tap, so that your phone can distinguish between the two actions).

This Back Tap combination even works if your phone is locked. Again, spend some time trying out different combinations of taps and features to find which ones are most useful for you.
