The assistive touch button is a very useful feature. How to Enable a Virtual Home Button on iPhone or iPad with AssistiveTouch <https://osxdaily.com/2018/08/16/enable-virtual-home-button-ios-assistivetouch/>
I’ve used it in the past when the home button on one of my older phones was all wonky and I didn’t feel like hassling with trying to fix it. It’s also convenient to have with all the larger sized iPhones. On my XR, I have it placed on the right side of the screen (I’m right handed) just above the dock of apps. Not necessary, but it’s still nice to have options to do this or that gesture From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2023 6:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Home button gestures on an iPad How do you do things like access Siri, reach the app switcher, and control Voiceover like you would do with presses of the home button?

I think it could be the same for sighted people, just without VoiceOver’s clicks. Jenn Jenn and Kumi -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
