Re: iphone x question

[Barbara Stahl]

With assistive touch you get to app switcher by double tapping assistive touch, 
then devices then more then app switcher. 
For control center and notifications, you can either use the regular gestures 
or you can double tap the assistive touch button then double tap control center 
or notifications respectively. If control center is not immediately visible, 
then its in devices and maybe under more just like the app switcher. I cannot 
remember.

RE: iphone x question

[Carolyn]

Yes, that is what I do and slide once from bottom to Home Page. I guess with 
that Assistive Touch, you just press that virtual Home Button twice for Ap 
Switcher. 

Since I can do the new way, I think I won't try the assistive Touch, since the 
new way is probably here to stay. I was surprised that the SE had a Home 
Button, because with one, a little bit of screen space is bound to be lost.

No. It just gives you not another option for making certain gestures. There's 
just a virtual assistive touch button on your screen, usually near the botom. I 
like it because I find the sliding gesture hard to do, meaning that I've never 
actually gotten it to work. It sounds easy from the descriptions but its never 
worked for me. Personally I prefer the physical home button, so I will stick 
with that kind of phone as long as I can.

RE: iphone x question

To get to the app switcher, you do the same thing you do to get to the home 
page, except keep sliding your finger a bit further up the screen until you 
feel a second vibration. It's a bit tricky, but you'll get the hang of it 
pretty quickly.

Re: iphone x question

[Wayne Merritt]

One thing to add about Assistive Touch. In my experience,the Assistive
Touch virtual button tends to move around the screen a bit. Usually, I
find it in the bottom right-ish part, but not always. I wish it stayed
in one place. Also, it can hide things you are used to seeing. For
instance, if I'm in BARD Mobile, and the Assistive Touch button is in
the lower right corner, if I then touch the Now Reading tab also in
the bottom right corner, I often hear VoiceOver say, "Assistive Touch
menu". You may have to go to the next closest item and flick to the
app item you are looking for. So, in my example, I would find the
Settings tab and then flick right to find the Now Reading tab and
double tap. This is an annoying thing about Assistive Touch, but I'm
mostly willing to deal with it. I use Assistive Touch as an easy way
to restart my phone. On the iPhone XR, I haven't come up with an easy
phone restart, other than shutting it down, plugging it into power,
and waiting for it to start up. There supposedly is a sequence of
button presses, but half the time whenever I try it, I end up nearly
calling EMS. Finally, you can turn on VoiceOver Help from anywhere
with a 4 finger double tap, and practice the new VoiceOver gestures,
such as going to the home screen or the app switcher. This would be a
good way to practice without actually performing the gesture.

Be well,
Wayne Merritt

RE: iphone x question

Interesting about Assistive Touch. Does it affect other things you do on the 
iPhone?

One relatively easy way is to enable the assistive touch feature in the 
disability section of settings. it will put a  virtual home button on your 
screen at all times. You then double tap it and you will get several options 
like device home and notifications. If you want the app switcher you double tap 
this home button and double tap device and more and then app switcher. Once you 
activate the assistive touch feature, the virtual home button is most likely 
somewhere on the bottum of your screen. 
There is another way to activate the home button by sliding up on the screen, 
but I have never gotten this to work for me. I prefer the assistive touch 
feature.

RE: iphone x question

[Richard Turner]

Just to add to what Wayne says, If you hear the VoiceOver clicks, remove your 
finger from the screen and start over.
You want the finger tip on the edge of the phone, not really on the screen, and 
as you slide onto the screen you will hear a different sort of sound, keep 
going until the first sound and maybe vibration occurs and lift your finger for 
home.
If you have VoiceOver hints on, if you hesitate a little, VoiceOver will say 
"lift for home button or something like that.
The second blip and vibration is the app switcher.

>From the top of the screen you can do the same gesture for Notifications and 
>Control Center.

HTH,

Hello. You need to use swipe gestures from the bottom of the screen.
Place a finger on the bottom of the screen, doesn't matter where, and you hear 
and feel a bump. If you then slide up, you will encounter 2 beeps and 
vibrations. The first is the Home screen vibration, and the second is for the 
App Switcher. Simply lift your finger when you find the one you want. It is a 
little hard to describe, but once you get it down, you will have it. If I want 
to go to the App Switcher on my iPhone XR, I put my finger at the bottom of the 
screen, feel the bottom bump and here the low pitched bonk, and then slide up 
until I hear and feel the second bonk and vibration, and then I lift my finger.

Hope that helps,
Wayne
