Yes, assistive touch should be useful in that situation, it just gives you a button on the screen, normally on the righthand side that will simulate pressing the home button etc. There are more options as well to take you in to multi tasking but I stil think that you have to three finger swipe to close them but I could stand corrected here.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of christopher hallsworth Sent: 26 May 2015 18:41 To: Viphone Subject: Assistive Touch Hi all In iOS, there is an accessibility feature called Assistive touch found under the interaction heading. Our Hannah and I are looking into this as a way of not only simulating the hardware buttons on a device, but to also simulate gestures some may find difficult, such as three finger gestures. She knows a friend who is not only blind but has low muscle tone. This friend has recently joined the Apple Ecosystem thanks to an iPhone 4s. Due to the low muscle tone, she finds it hard to do a three finger gesture to close an app from the App Switcher for example. In your opinion, do you feel assistive touch may help? I also have a question of my own. How the heck do you stop simulating those multifinger gestures? I may have worked it out, but wonder if anyone has any ideas please? Thank you, any replies greatly appreciated. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
