Learning VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects. These
and some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items
when theyre selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and three-nger gestures 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 them.
You can use 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. Many nd the “split-tap gesture especially eective: instead of selecting an item
and double-tapping, you can touch and hold an item with one nger, then tap the screen with
another nger. Try dierent techniques to discover which works best for you.
If your gestures dont work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and icking
gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers. When VoiceOver
is turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you a chance to practice
VoiceOver gestures before proceeding.
Practice VoiceOver gestures: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you nish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
