If you’re tired of endless tapping in your favorite games, an auto clicker handles the repetitive taps for you. On iPhone and iPad you don’t need to install anything: Apple’s Switch Control accessibility feature can record a pattern of taps and replay it on command, in any app or game.
Quick answer
Yes, iPhone has a built-in auto clicker. Add a Full Screen switch in Settings → Accessibility → Switch Control, record your taps as a Custom Gesture recipe, and set it as the launch recipe. Then triple-click the side button to turn Switch Control on, and tap the screen to replay your taps. It’s free and works on iPad too.
Show me the stepsLooking for the IO Auto Clicker app for iPhone? We’re rebuilding it, and it isn’t on the App Store right now. Until it’s back, the built-in method below is the best free option. IO Auto Clicker is available for Android, Mac, and Windows.
How to Set Up the Built-in Auto Clicker on iPhone and iPad
Setup takes about five minutes and only needs doing once. The steps are the same on iPhone and iPad. Switch Control changes how your screen responds while it’s on, so read the whole guide before you start. A triple click of the side button always turns it off again.
-
Add a Full Screen switch
Open Settings → Accessibility → Switch Control → Switches. Tap Add New Switch, choose Screen, then Full Screen, and pick Tap as the action. Your whole screen now works as one big switch.
-
Record your taps as a recipe
Go back to Switch Control, tap Recipes → Create New Recipe, and name it (for example “Auto Tap”). Tap Assign a Switch, choose Full Screen, then Custom Gesture.
Now tap the screen exactly where you want the auto taps to land. Every tap you record is replayed each time the recipe runs, so tap as many times as you want repeated. Tap Save when you’re done.
-
Set it as the launch recipe
In Recipes, tap Launch Recipe and select your new recipe. It will now be active whenever Switch Control is on.
-
Add the Accessibility Shortcut
Open Settings → Accessibility → Accessibility Shortcut and select Switch Control. This lets you turn it on and off with a triple click of the side button (or the Home button on older iPhones and iPads).
-
Start and stop auto tapping
Open your game or app, then triple-click the side button to turn on Switch Control. Tap anywhere on the screen and your recorded taps play back. Tap again to repeat them. When you’re done, triple-click the side button again to turn Switch Control off.

Tips and Limitations
- More taps per run: the recipe replays exactly what you recorded. To get more taps each time, record more taps in the Custom Gesture.
- A recipe can’t be stopped halfway: once it starts, it plays to the end. Keep recordings short while you test, then make them longer.
- Normal tapping is paused: while Switch Control is on, tapping the screen runs your recipe instead of tapping normally. Triple-click the side button to get your normal touch back.
- iPad: the steps are the same. Use the top button for the triple click on iPads without a Home button.
- Battery: long tapping sessions use more battery, so plug in for extended play.
- Several patterns: create a recipe for each tap pattern you use, then switch between them in Launch Recipe.
How to Auto Scroll on iPhone
The same feature can scroll for you, which helps with long articles and reading apps. Create a second recipe the same way, but when you record the Custom Gesture, swipe up instead of tapping. Set it as the launch recipe, turn on Switch Control, and each tap on the screen scrolls the page. Record several swipes to scroll further with each tap.
Auto Clicker for Roblox on iPhone and iPad
Switch Control works in the Roblox app too. Record your taps on the button you want repeated (the attack button, for example), save the recipe, then triple-click the side button in Roblox and tap to replay. Check the rules of each experience first, since some Roblox games don’t allow automation. For settings and PC options, see our auto clicker for Roblox guide.
Auto Clicker Apps on the App Store
You can also download an auto clicker app. Before you do, know one important limit: iOS doesn’t let apps tap inside other apps. Most App Store auto clickers work inside their own built-in browser or on websites, so they’re best for web games and web tasks. For native games like Roblox, the built-in Switch Control method is more reliable.
