Alan,
I could be mistaken but thingk Gerarrd is suggesting that it possibly
does work and it sure does indeed.
It's a great tip and it's good to know of such things here fror sure.

Gera,
The purpose of the Change rotor with items is provided in settings as
being:
Changes the selected rotor based on the VoiceOver focused item.
To me, this simply means the rotor item selected is context sensitive
based on what item has focus when using VoiceOver. I wouldn't think
that setting is causing the issue you described.

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!
