Can the Back Tap feature be used to put an iPhone to sleep? I have an iPhone 12 running iOS 15.1. The silicone case I use makes it a bit hard to press the side button to put it to sleep. Sure, I could get a new case, but I thought maybe the Back Tap feature could be used to do that. I looked at the list of things the Back Tap can do but did not find any that would put it to Sleep. Did I miss it or it's simply cannot be done?

how do I puy my iphone xr into sleep mode without using the side button How can I put my iPhone xr into sleep mode without using the side button , nor the option in accessibility features. Can I create a custom gesture? The side button is slightly blocked by the case , and I don't like that button on screen from accessibility features. I can't see it half the time or it's in the way.

No – iPhone must be awake, but need not be unlocked. By the way, if Back Tap is set up to run a shortcut, it can be a powerful feature.
