You go to accessibility then to touch then to backtap then tap on either
double or triple tap which ever you prefer. In there you can determine
which shortcut to associate with the tapping. It has to be a shortcut
you have already defined or is a already established shortcut.
I hope this is clear enough.

Where do you go for Shortcuts to back or Back Tap. I never got it to work on my
14 Pro. I wonder if some cases are a problem there.

Yep, I was able to follow the instructions and then I associated it with a
triple backtap and now I can turn silent mode on and off that way.
I guess I just need to start using copilot more. :)

I don't use shortcuts, so I asked Copilot if this can be done.
This is what it said. You will have to try it to see if it actually
works.
Yes, you can create a shortcut on your iPhone to toggle silent mode.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the + button to create a new shortcut.
3. Tap Add Action.
4. Search for Set Silent Mode and select it.
5. Tap the word Turn to reveal a drop-down menu and select Toggle.
This will allow the shortcut to switch between turning silent mode on and off.
Once you've created the shortcut, you can add it to your home screen or
use Siri to activate it. This way, you can easily toggle silent mode without
having to use the physical switch on your iPhone

Subject: creating a shortcut to toggle silent mode
I have been trying to figure out how to do this since getting my 16E.
I want to use my action button for a different need. I have searched
everywhere I can think of and have dug through all the shortcuts and actions
but cannot find a way to do this.
If anyone else can figure this out I sure would appreciate hearing
about it. I would even consider using a backtap gesture to toggle silent mode
if that can be done.
