Steve,
Thanks for these directions. I'm sure it will all come easy enough as soon
as I spend some time getting used to the differences.

Ruben,

If you don't readily fine an answer, this should get you started.  When you
touch the very bottom of your screen, you should hear a different sort of
"click".  Keep your finger on the screen and slide up until you hear another
click.  Lifting your finger off the screen at that point should give you the
HOME function.

If you touch the very bottom of the screen and hear the different sound I
mentioned above, and then you slide your finger up until you hear two
clicks, lifting your finger off the screen will put you in the App Switcher
just like pressing HOME twice.

You can do the same sort of pattern starting at the top of your screen but
you will get different results.  The first click will give you the Control
Center.  If you keep sliding your finger down the screen, your phone may
vibrate quickly rather than click, but you will then be in the Notification
Center.

There are other effects of all of this.  When I made this switch, I changed
the method of starting and stopping VoiceOver to use three quick presses of
the side button.  You may also need to change how you access Siri if you
previously held down the HOME button.

Once I knew what to do, I really didn't have any trouble with doing this.
The biggest irritation for me is that sometimes I touch close enough to the
bottom of the screen when wanting to activate something else that this
process starts.  However, I have found that if I don't slide my finger up
but just wait, I will hear the icon I am touching and things work as
expected.

My phone is an older model than yours, but I don't think there are any
differences.  However let us know if anything I have written here does not
work for you or is incorrect on your model.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hello,

Don't know if there is a better place to ask this, but just got a new iPhone
13 upgrading from an 8. Wondering if anyone knows of some good Utube videos
or tutorials for using an iphone with voice over without the home button.
Thanks

 

Drew
