Thanks Chris for that clarification. It's just that in previous iOS updates, we
didn't see such a label even when writing using mBraille or a Braille display.
I really appreciate the info, and the help from Richard and others for using
and understanding this feature.

Direct Touch is the feature that allows apps like MBraille to exist, and has
actually been around as long as MBraille has.
It basically overrides the built in gestures with the gestures that are built
into the specific app. So Direct Touch is what allows you to type using the
braille keyboard i
I just now discovered that with mBraille. What the heck is direct touch anyway?
Why does it exist and is it of any benefit to us visually impaired users?

Remember, sometimes it will say direct touch area, but mBraille will work as it
should.
Its confusing.

Thanks Richard. When I swipe up it says direct touch on for mBraille which is
what I'm using now. Sometimes however, I use my BrailleEdge 40. Oh, and you're
right about the spacebar plus q for quick navigation on and off. Appreciate
your help.

Quick Nav may also be getting in the way if this is a qwerty keyboard. if so,
pressing the left+right arrow keys will toggle quick nav.
On a braille display, I think it is space+q.

You cannot get rid of it, but it would help to know which kind of keyboard.
This usually impacts braille displays/keyboards, so you turn the rotor to where
it says direct touch and flick up.
That should get you going.

I think it might be in the rotor settings you go to where it says direct touch
and then you flip down to where it says disable and then you can disable it
there but someone else can feel free to correct me on that.

I finally took the plunge and updated my phone to iOS 14.7 last night. Lots of
changes. This may have been covered, but how do I get rid of something called
direct touch so I can use my keyboard for texting without it like in the good
old days.
