VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects.
These and some additional gestures allow you to move around the screen and to
control the individual elements when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include
using two and three ngers to tap or ick. For best results when using two- and three-
nger gestures, relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between
your ngers.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and
holding your nger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures
are in force. They remain in eect until you lift your nger. Then VoiceOver gestures
resume.
You can use many dierent techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you
can enter a two-nger tap using two ngers from one hand, or one nger from each
hand. You can also use your thumbs. Try dierent techniques to discover which works
best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tap and
icking gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers.
You can practice VoiceOver gestures in Settings: choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Practice Gestures and tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button.
