Yes, I forgot, set brightness to auto. Life is easier that way.

Turn on the Screen curtain. Wait about 10 minutes or so. Without turning off screen brightness, go into the settings and see what it is showing. It will be 0%. So, if turning the brightness down manually saves battery, letting screen curtain do that for you will save battery. Plus, as soon as you turn off screen curtain, a sighted person can see the screen without you having to fiddle with anything. I’ve done this on at least 10 phones with various people.

However, screen curtain does not actually help conserve battery life; all it does is blacken the screen by coloring it black--not actually turn off the display. To conserve battery by turning off the screen, you'd need to turn down the brightness. I have turned off auto-brightness and set brightness to 0 in settings. If I need someone sighted to look at my phone, I use the brightness slider in control panel to turn up the brightness to 20-30%. This brightness level is usually sufficient for most sighted individuals.

Once the student has an initial knowledge, I alter some of these. I am referring to IOS 14.x here. 1. Turn on "Do Not DisturB". This will prevent notifications from disturbing the class. If your phone also had cell service, it would prevent phone calls from disturbing you as well. Settings / Do Not Disturb 2. Turn off "Autolock" by setting it to "never". This prevents the student's phone from locking every few minutes while in the class. Settings / Display & Brightness / Autolock Note - you may want to reset these two items after the class if the student will be taking the phone away with them. 3. If the student is a Voiceover-only user, turn on the "screen curtain" to save some battery usage. 3-finger tripple tap 4. If Voiceover is being used, make sure "hints" are turned on. Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / Verbosity / Speak hints 5. If Voiceover is being used, set the Voiceover volume so both the instructor and the student can hear it. If in an area where you need to be quiet, consider using a splitter so two sets of earpods or headphones can be used at the same time. Volume buttons or add "volume" to the rotor 6. Set SIRI options to display its responses and your spoken inputs. This will help the student while learning to use SIRI. Settings / SIRI & Search / SIRI Responses 7. If cell service is available, set the phone option to use "full screen" for calls. This avoids the difficulties for beginners in dealing with the one-line display mode on calls. Settings / Phone / Incoming calls 8. Initially, set typing style to "standard" when working with the on-screen keyboard. Once the student is comfortable with the on-screen keyboard you can introduce the other typing styles. Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / typing / typing style There are likely other settings one could adjust. Much depends on the model of phone, the IOS version, the usage the student will make of the phone, and their current level of knowledge / skill with it.
