Looks like you cracked it Gera, well done.
It's a great suggestion bbut I used almost always have the rotor to
headings.
I will reset now,
Thanks, cheers,
Tony

Browsing through the Rotor options, I came across an option called “Change
Rotor with item.” It’s the second item when you navigate to the “Rotor”
settings from within the “Settings/Voiceover” settings. I’ve never understood
the purpose of this feature, so I checked it and already have it to “On.” Does
this mean that if I have the rotor set to “Activities,” it will automatically
revert to the default rotor item after a certain period?

Subject: Issues with Gesture Navigation on iPhone 16E When Rotor Is Set to
Activities or other actions
Hi all,
After five faithful years with my iPhone SE 2nd Generation, I recently upgraded
to the iPhone 16E because the Haptic Home button stopped working. Since the 16E
doesn’t have a physical Home button, I’ve had to rely entirely on gesture-based
navigation — especially the swipe up from the bottom to go Home or open the App
Switcher.
Here’s the issue I’m facing:
When I perform these gestures, particularly when VoiceOver focus is near the
bottom of the screen, the Rotor sometimes reacts — switching Activities
unexpectedly or triggering features like Screen Recognition. It feels like the
gesture is being misinterpreted as a Rotor movement.
To work around this, I’ve been manually setting the Rotor to something like
“Containers” or “Headings” before doing the gesture, and that seems to help.
Still, it’s something I never had to worry about before — not on the SE, and
not even on my iPad 9th Generation, which still has a Home button. (There, I
actually like using the new gestures, and they don’t cause this kind of
conflict.)
One thing that might be contributing: I usually leave the Rotor on “Activities”
since I use one Activity for English and another for Spanish. I never saw a
need to switch away from it constantly — but with these new gesture-based
interactions, I’m having to be much more mindful about that.
I’ve considered assigning a custom gesture, like a three-finger triple-tap, to
perform the “Go to Home” action — which might avoid the conflict altogether.
But doing that feels like it would take away from the whole point of learning
and adapting to the new gesture system, so I’m hesitant to go that route.
Has anyone else dealt with something similar?
Am I maybe just performing the gesture slightly off, or is this a known quirk
when using the Rotor with Activities?
Would love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions you’ve found helpful.
Thanks in advance!
