[Trainer-Talk] Screen Curtain on iPhone

Thu Apr 21 17:20:28 UTC 2022

Hi. First, it is possible to remove the screen curtain gesture if you go into Voiceover settings under Commands. If you find the gesture and double tap that button you will then see a button to remove the gesture. Also, you currently cannot use Siri to toggle screen curtain on or off.
