AssistiveTouch
AssistiveTouch helps you use iPod touch if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing
the buttons. You can use an adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) with AssistiveTouch to control
iPod touch. You can also use AssistiveTouch without an accessory, to perform gestures that are
difficult for you.
The AssistiveTouch menu lets you perform actions such as these by just tapping (or the
equivalent on your accessory):
•
Press the Home button
•
Summon Siri
•
Perform multi-finger gestures
•
Access Control Center or Notification Center
•
Adjust iPod touch volume
•
Shake iPod touch
