    Nice bit of learning, perhaps you could get the assistive touch button to turn off the highly distracting background music on Apple teaching videos.

    This is an extremely useful feature, this wonder-button. I've been using it for years on both the iPad and iPhone, and I can't imagine using these devices without it. I have deeply customized it to my needs. A long press on the button takes a screenshot. A double tap on the button turns the screen off. And in the menu of this button I can adjust the volume, bring the Notification Center, Control Center, multitasking, restart the iPad, bring up Spotlight from anywhere, etc. This is especially handy if you have a device with a large screen.

    Just wondering if a feature under assistive touch can get one to the app switcher? I notice a lot of my customers have a problem doing the swipe up and hold to get to the app switcher and could use an easy shortcut to that feature.

    Assistive touch works best on iPhone Se or iphones with home button.
    Now it's assistive touch is only useful if you don't wanna press your power button to lock/unlock your phone.

    Some time ago I was able to add these functions to my iPhone's assistive touch:
    double-tap: Wifi off
    long press: Bluetooth on off
    But when I try to add those same custom actions to my brother's new iPhone, I cannot find these functions under 'shortcuts' list. Can you help?

    I have an iPhone 11 & have assistive touch on for screen shot. Love having that on my screen at all times. But I have a problem. When I want to download a new app from the App Store it wants me to confirm with Assistive Touch? I do not know how to do that, lol I thought perhaps I could touch the button but nothing happens. So I turned off Assistive Touch so I could download the app & still get the same message. Help please

    • @applesupport
      @applesupport  2 роки тому +1

      To turn off Confirm with AssistiveTouch, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then turn off the Confirm with AssistiveTouch option at the bottom.

Button stays on screen even during videos etc dimming too much makes it hard to find. We need a fast easy way to make it pop on screen and off. Thanks

    For the love of baby jesus Apple can you PLEASE make an assistive touch button that does not move itself to the bottom gray area near the keyboard after i purposefully move it away? When i type anything, i accidentally hit the button about 12 times and have to sort through the constant opening of the app switch feature! Then you accidentally click on anopen tab/app while trying to text and then accidentally click links etc before closing the app switcher abd resuming your text. I drag it away from the keyboard about 57 times per day and boom- it moves itself back! Back to the absolute most inconvenient location right where my thumbs hang while i type. Its absolutely maddening. I cant swipe up like a normal person and the assistive touch is always near the keyboard no matter how many times i move it up

      Thanks for reaching out! We'll be happy to help. If you purchased the watch through Apple, we have a 14 day return policy, so it would be outside of that time period now. Our returns policy can be found here. You might need to choose your correct region if outside the US. s.apple.com/dE3h9U9i4b

    This looks a bit too complicated for my dad. You need to have different videos for different functions. I just want i-phone to tell my dad what numbers he dialed. This is what came up, but... no. Sorry.

    Oh my, what a complex series of controls. None of the actions seem attractive to me. They all seem like Solutions in Search of Problems.
    Oh sure, if I watch this video dozens of times, maybe I could master this. But why?
    One fundamental issue here is that icons are terrible for communication. How many times does any novice need to practice to internalize what the plus symbol means, only in this specific context? Likely a couple dozen. Then, how likely is that novice to retain and apply that information the next time they need to apply it, say 2 months from now?

    Can assistive touch also be used with voice over enabled?
