AssistiveTouch

AssistiveTouch helps you use iPhone if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing
the buttons. You can use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with
AssistiveTouch to control iPhone. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory to
perform gestures that are difficult for you.
Turn on AssistiveTouch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch. To set
Triple-click Home to turn AssistiveTouch on or off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Triple-click Home.
Adjust the tracking speed (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Show or hide the AssistiveTouch menu: Click the secondary button on your accessory.
Move the menu button: Drag it to any edge of the screen.
Hide the menu button (with accessory attached): Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 fingers: Tap the menu button, tap Gestures, and
then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles appear
on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the
menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture: Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the
pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the
pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.

placeholder. Or, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.

a TTY machine. Go to

iPhone to your TTY machine using the iPhone TTY Adapter.

with the machine.
