RE: How do I answer a call and finish a call without voiceover?

[Carolyn]

Yes, a few months backl, I was using a friend's XR. When through with 
conversation, I tapped once about an inch up. She and my daughter-in-love were 
amazed that I got it just right. 

Below the zero is end call or call. Without VoiceOver, you'd tap there once.

Hi Rena,

 

Richard Turner, who is a frequent good source of information on the list gave 
us this information about gestures for sighted folks in October:

 

* VO Gesture for answering the phone, 2-finger double tap, Light dependent 
gesture, 1 finger slide left to right, or tap on the answer button.

 

* VO Gesture to end a call, 2-finger double tap, Light dependent gesture, tap 
the end call button.

 

* VO Gesture to scroll the screen sideways, 3-finger swipe sideways, Light 
Dependent Gesture, 1-finger swipe sideways.

 

* VO Gesture to scroll screen up or down, 3-finger swipe up or down,  Light 
Dependent Gesture, 1-finger slide up or down.

 

* VO Gesture for context menu, either double tap and hold, or a 1-finger triple 
tap, Light Dependent gesture, 1-finger long press.

 

 

I hope that helps!

 

Take care and stay safe!

Hello,

 

I need to know how to answer a call and finish a call without using voiceover.

I need to help my mother who never used an iPhone. I changed my 6S for the SE 
and gave her the 6S to her.

 

Thank you for any help,

 

Rena

since the original question was how to answer and end a call on the iPhone 
without VoiceOver, all the references in Richard’s instructions to various 
VoiceOver gestures are irrelevant, and do not apply when VoiceOver is disabled.

Simply put, to answer a call when VoiceOver is disabled, one should first 
locate the Answer call button, and either tap the button once, or perform a 
one-finger slide action from left to right.
To end a call when VoiceOver is not running, simply locate the End call button, 
usually located immediately below the Zero on the telephone keypad, and perform 
a one-finger tap on the button.
That’s all there is to it.

RE: How do I answer a call and finish a call without voiceover?

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

This may sound silly, but the reference to “light dependent” threw me at first. 
 I guess I am just not used to using all of the substitute names for sighted 
people that seem to get used.

I do agree that Richard’s information was helpful, however.

one-finger slide action from left to right.
To end a call when VoiceOver is not running, simply locate the End call button, 
usually located immediately below the Zero on the telephone keypad, and perform 
a one-finger tap on the button.
That’s all there is to it.

To answer a call you push the green button near the bottom of the screen or you 
slide the button that says answer.
To end a call you push the red button near the bottom of the screen I think it 
looks like a phone receiver.

RE: How do I answer a call and finish a call without voiceover?

[Richard Turner]

OK Brad.
Of course it did because that is the kind of things people ask about when they 
have never used a phone, but I am really confused why you said none of it was 
helpful when I said almost exactly what you said about the answering and 
hanging up the phone.
I guess we will agree to disagree about what is helpful.
Or, at least, I will agree to disagree with you.

since the original question was how to answer and end a call on the iPhone 
without VoiceOver, all the references in Richard’s instructions to various 
VoiceOver gestures are irrelevant, and do not apply when VoiceOver is disabled.

Simply put, to answer a call when VoiceOver is disabled, one should first 
locate the Answer call button, and either tap the button once, or perform a

To end a call when VoiceOver is not running, simply locate the End call button,

one-finger slide action from left to right.
To end a call when VoiceOver is not running, simply locate the End call button, 
usually located immediately below the Zero on the telephone keypad, and perform 
a one-finger tap on the button.
That’s all there is to it.
