[Trainer-Talk] iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[James Gagnier]

Hi David,

I do have a screen protector.  It's not cracked, and it works wonderfully. 
When I let a sighted user use my phone to fix something, I turn off Voice 
Over as it modifies how the phone gestures work and sighted people aren't 
used to have the phone work that way.

Do you have a screen protector on your phone? If so and particularly if it
has cracked, that can cause weird things to happen. Does the phone behave
normally when VoiceOver is off and a sighted user is working with it?
