iPhone/iPad VoiceOver: Home Button Gestures

Hello, my name is Douglas Walker. Today we'll be checking out how to get the most out of our home button. Now we'll use our home button if we want to start Siri, launch our app switcher, open our accessibility shortcuts, and close any of our open apps. Yeah, we'll also take a look at some really great gestures that we'll use for opening our control center, and getting to all of our notifications.

Now, this might seem like a lot and it is, however, the more we use our home button, and home button gestures, the more we'll find that all of this will soon become second nature. So, let's jump right in and check it all out.

All right. Today we will be using our iPhone, but no worries because all of this will work pretty much the same whether we're using our iPhone or our iPad.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free-of-charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
