Hi,

 

This is true, but when I tried assistive touch out a while back, I lost triple 
click home to turn on/off voiceover.

If you are concerned about wearing out the home button, which I think is a 
legitimate concern, turn on assistive touch.  It is in accessibility, under the 
physical and motor heading, or ask searie to turn it on.  Then, when you tap 
assistive touch, it, among other things,  puts a home button on the screen, a 
little way above the real home button.   If you do not like where the assistive 
touch icon appears on the screen, you can double tap and hold the icon, then 
move it to a more convenient place.

Subject: Four finger swipe up to open app switcher.

 

If I go to the bottom of my screen and put my four fingers on the very bottom 
and swipe up I can open the app switcher.  I use this gesture to open the app 
switcher to save on wearing out my home button.  Does this gesture still open 
the app switcher in ios 7.1?  I still have ios 7.0.6 as I have not downloaded 
the new  version due to the keyboard issue.  I am using an iPad 4.

pretty strange things with normal tap and swipe.
