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.
