Hello Richard Thanks, it is very valid. I think you are correct because I do better placing the phone on a hard surface. I also think that maybe I am lifting my finger too high and as you say, it is at an angle when I bring it down. Thanks for the suggestions. Fanus

I have had that happen, and I have very good motor skills. I think iOS 15 is more responsive and the slightest touch is recognized. I also think that when you end up on another app, it is because focus somehow moved to that app; maybe a very slight brush of the screen with another finger that you were not conscious of having gotten so close to the screen. I recommend trying to either flick to the app and then weight a couple of seconds to make sure the app you want is the last thing VoiceOver said, then do a double tap with one finger and make sure you are hitting straight down on the screen. Havin the phone laying flat on a table helps to insure you are not going to hit it at an angle. Or, use the other method of placing your finger on the app you want, do not move that finger, leave it resting lightly on that app and while that finger is touching the app; just touch the screen with another finger. That is the alternative method to a double tap.

For clarity I shall explain: many times when I swipe to an app, for example messages, then when I double tap to activate it I hear "edit" or even the name of another app. So it seems that somehow my finger moves between the two taps. As I said, my friend complains about the same issue. I have an iPhone 11 and she has an iPhone 7. Has anyone experienced this and can anyone come up with a solution?
