[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Braille screen input on iPhone Se 2022

Sun Mar 27 02:36:05 UTC 2022

Those of you who aren’t having the mute issue, how are you holding your device? I hold my phone so that it’s cradled between my palms, so in this position, my palm covers the bottom speaker.

I have mine set for screen away mode and use it that way if the screen is pointing away from me or if the phone is on a table face up. I have no problem fitting my fingers on the screen, but then I have relatively small hands. I have never experienced the problems with muting you describe.
