A number of options will appear. Tap on the feature you want to link to the triple-click shortcut.
A blue tick will appear next to the feature that is currently functioning.
Triple-click the side button or Home button on your iOS device to test the shortcut.

You can select multiple features to be switched on, and even configure the list of shortcuts in a particular order.

One of the more popular features is the "Reduce White Point" shortcut. This reduces the glare of bright colors on your iOS device, which effectively dims the screen as soon as your triple-click a button. This is best used when using your iPhone or iPad in the dark, as the reduced brightness is much easier on the eyes.
