Here is a list of gestures taken from the iOS 11 manual. I do not think there are any new gestures in iOS 12, but I have not had time to check the iOS 12 manual.
VoiceOver Gestures • Practice Mode: Four finger double tap, Puts VoiceOver in practice mode so you can practice gestures without opening or changing anything. • Select and speak the item: Touch with one finger. If you slide your one finger without lifting it, you can explore what is on the screen without changing or opening anything. • Select the next or previous item: Swipe right or left with one finger. • Read all from the top of the screen: Two-finger swipe up. • Read all from the current position: Two-finger swipe down. • Stop or resume speaking: Two-finger touch. • To dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen: Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers rapidly in a small circle or slide two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) • Speak Screen: Touch the status bar with one finger and swipe down with two fingers; only works if Speak Screen is turned on in settings, general, accessibility, speech. Speak Screen will continue reading even if the screen is locked. (This does not require VoiceOver. Can be distracting for VoiceOver users.) • Scroll one page up or down at a time: Three-finger swipe up or down. In Email, if you touch somewhere in the list of emails, then swipe down with three fingers, it will refresh the Email list and get any new messages. • Three-finger swipe right or left. For example): Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen. • Open Notification Center: touch the status bar and swipe down with three fingers. • Open Control Panel: Touch status bar and swipe up with three fingers. • Open Spotlight Search: Touch on the home screen below the status bar and above the dock and swipe down with three fingers. • Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text is selected: Three-finger tap. • Copy last thing spoken by VoiceOver to the clipboard: three-finger quadruple tap. • Select the first item on the page: Four-finger tap at top of screen. • Select the last item on the page: Four-finger tap at bottom of screen. • Activate the selected item: Double-tap with one finger. • Alternative way to activate an item: Split-tap. Put one finger on an item and leave it there, then touch the screen with another finger, then lift them both. • When a non-VoiceOver user needs to Double-tap an item: VoiceOver users need to Triple-tap with one finger. • Use a standard gesture: Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture. The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold your finger on the screen until you hear three rising tones, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger on a slider. (Also known as the "Pass Through" Gesture.) • Tap 2 times on the clock in status bar to scroll to top in any app. •To start or stop an action: Two-finger double-tap. This gesture initiates an action or halts or pauses an action in progress. For example, you can: •Answer or end a call. •Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or Photos (slideshows). •Take a photo in Camera. •Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. •Start or stop the stopwatch. • Change an item’s label to make it easier to find: Two-finger double-tap and hold. • Open the Item Chooser: Two-finger triple-tap. • Select/deselect text: Turn on "Text Selection" in the VoiceOver rotor settings, then turn the rotor to Text Selection and flick down to character, word, line, etc., and then flick right with one finger to select text. Once selected, turn rotor to edit and flick up or down to copy, print, share, etc. Much easier than the two-finger Pinch out/in. • Mute or unmute VoiceOver: Three-finger double-tap. If both VoiceOver and Zoom are enabled, use the three-finger triple-tap gesture. • Turn the screen curtain on or off: Three-finger triple-tap. If both VoiceOver and Zoom are enabled, use the three-finger quadruple-tap gesture. • 3D Touch: Place your finger on an app and press, do not tap, this brings up a shortcut menu depending on the app. For example, on the phone app it brings up your favorites so you can call them quickly. 3D Touch is available on devices like the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus. • Switch to next or previous app: Four-finger swipe left or right. * It is a good idea to not have too many apps open in the background. After you are finished using an app, it remains available in the background. If too many are open, your device can become very sluggish or not work properly. To close apps from the app switcher, double tap the home button and you will hear "App Switcher." Touch an app and flick up with three fingers and it will close. • Using the Rotor: Place two fingers on the screen like you were going to turn a knob, hold them against the screen and twist left or right. Select the next or previous rotor item. Examples of items on the rotor are: speech rate, character, word, line, heading, text selection, and more. You can add other items to the rotor in the VoiceOver settings. • Select an item on the rotor: Swipe up or down with one finger. Also used to access various options on apps, Email messages, etc. Anywhere VoiceOver says "Actions available." For iPad Only: • Go to home screen: 5 fingers pinch in: put all five fingers on the screen and pinch them in until they are all touching and it is like tapping the home button once.

Calling seems to be far more effective than writing them, but it doesn't hurt to report bugs via the Email below.

The quickest way is to use Siri by pressing the home button until you hear two beeps, then say, "Turn on VoiceOver." Siri will respond by saying, "OK, I turned on VoiceOver." To turn off VoiceOver, press the home button until you hear two beeps and say, "Turn VoiceOver off." You can also turn on VoiceOver through the settings app. On your device, go to Settings, General, Accessibility and the last item on that list is "Accessibility shortcut." Open that setting and select "Toggle VoiceOver." Then, when you triple click the home button, VoiceOver will be toggled on or off. The "triple click" refers to tapping the home button three times very quickly. The taps need to be within a half a second of each other. xpert: an ex is a has-been, a spirt is a drip under pressure. -- Bruce U.

I assume though somewhere in The voiceover accessibility Settings that there is an instructional thing for learning gestures as there is for the earlier iOS is. I'd like to see that list too. I often do a lot from the phone that's very intuitive and I can solve problems very quickly that way but it won't hurt for me to be prepared to make some changes. I know this was been discussed ages ago when Gestures started to change with newer phones but I put it aside.

I ended up upgrading to IOS 12. There’s a gesture I simply cannot remember. How can I get to the top of a screen or email or document? Sometime my finger lands me in the middle or bottom but I can’t get back to the top or beginning. I’d love to learn or relearn the VoiceOver gestures. Thank you!
