To be honest, I subscribed to your channel for your clarity and accuracy of speech and pronunciation. I really love the way you deliver your presentation for every video.
You have one of the best teaching styles for these sophisticated devices. The number of features can be overwhelming and confusing…for some. Many of us are aging or have elderly family members who have an iPhone. Would you consider a more compact video aimed at the elderly with features limited to ones they would need like magnification, sound alerts, etc? Elderly issues revolve around health, hearing, vision and alerts. 👍
I second his remark. Years ago, an elderly woman at a library, seeing I was using a Mac laptop, asked me if I'd help her with her Mac laptop. She had a problem reading normal-sized text. I did the best I could to explain how, but I found it complicated for me to understand, much less someone with numerous health issues. As a result I had an interesting exchange with the Accessibility team at Apple. Their desire to help was obvious and it was also obvious that Apple was giving them the funding they need. The issue, I explained to them, was that many of these features were aimed at _highly capable_ people with mobility issues. Those were people who, using those features, could outwork ordinary people. But those same features, buried deep in an accessibility menu, could be hard for others to use. A explanation by you would help, perhaps aimed at family or friends. You are very good at explaining. It might also be helpful to develop a series of Shortcuts, perhaps driven by Siri, that could activate these features, something along the lines of "Hey, Siri, enlarge the text."
Love the videos. Always something new even if it’s not something I’m likely to use. I am visually impaired (partial sight), and have my phone set up pretty much as I need it. But I have a couple of suggestions. Under accessibility, then display and text size: I have recommended turning on bold text to a number of people, not all of them with any sight impairment. Quite a few older people find their phone easier to read with this feature on. I also have large text turned on. This means the text in many apps is that little bit bigger and sometimes I don’t even need to zoom it. With zoom, I have full screen enabled. I don’t like just having a small magnifying window on my screen. I use the three finger double tap to zoom the entire screen and then use those three fingers to drag the screen around to see the piece that I want to look at. For someone with very limited sight this can be more useful than having the screen divided into a magnified part and a non-magnified part. But I agree that it does make typing difficult. It seems that the follow typing option is turned off when full screen is enabled. More investigation required on my part I think. It takes practice, but you can use three finger double tap drag to change the amount that the screen is zoomed. I find this more convenient than having a controller on the screen. When typing I use speech to text a lot. But then need to zoom in to scroll around my text to make sure that there are no disasters. A suggestion when you need to type a lot of text into a small box that only shows a few lines. Quite often I type the text into a note and then copy/paste it into the text box.
Thanks for this channel. I also use Voiceover, as I'm blind. One can quickly activate and deactivate it using Siri. Just say "Hey Siri, turn Voiceover on." Of course, the same phrase with off turns it off.
Also a VoiceOver user and blind since birth. I marvel at the amount of voices and dialects available to us, especially with iOS 16 and the addition of Eloquence and many others.
I’ve been a Apple fan since my Macintosh 128 in the mid 1980’s - but I’ve learned so much from your videos which I’ve been binge watching since I discovered you earlier this week. I left a comment on another of your videos a few days ago asking if it was possible to make a transcript. What a dummy I am, you’ve already got transcripts. Maybe you need a video explaining how to get the most out of TH-cam? I’d also love a video exploring the Photos app. Thank you so much for what you do!
I'm really pleased you're enjoying the videos and getting value from them! Yes, I've been adding closed captions transcripts for about the past 4 or 5 months with each video, I want them to be as accessible as possible. Hope you continue to enjoy the new content! 🙂
Oh, and yes, Photos app - it's been mentioned many times before, and I really want to make something about it - I just need to figure out how to do it.
Wow! Thank you for the amazing tips! I use voiceover myself from my iPhone, because I can’t see anything on my phone. Voiceover is my best friend! I am glad you’re not the only one mentioning voiceover accessibility. Thank you for helping other people be aware of accessibility features on Apple devices.
I have multiple disabilities which complicates my tech needs -- crooked, weak hands, can't reach my head (for headphones or ear buds), and now what vision I've had is quickly getting worse. I don't really like iPhone for multiple reasons, but I'm finding if I want to be able to use a smart phone I'm going to have to switch. Best as I can tell, iPhone has THE BEST accessibility services including their hotline. I'm 63, so it's going to be a difficult adjustment - I'm very glad I found your videos. 👍👍😎
Great video mate… I would recommend checking out voice control which is invaluable for people who have difficulty with fine motor control and hand control (as well as people who want to cook without wanting to swipe the screen with dirty fingers!) … recent updates include the ability to hang up the phone, which means that pretty much everything (except using Apple Pay) is now accessible on iOS, iPadOS and Mac OS with a persons speech! :)
After experimenting I use double tap to activate the App Switcher. It revolutionized the way I use my iPhone; I can go from one app to another almost without thinking. The key is to develop the necessary muscle memory; it’s a matter of getting the timing right. I found the if I spoke the phrase “tap tap” as I tapped the back of the iPhone I could hit the right cadence: not “taptap” or “tap. tap.” For the first week I spoke the phrase out loud as I tapped, the second week I sub-vocalized the phrase and by the third week I had the muscle memory down solid. Now it’s almost an unconscious act and switching from app to app feels more like a mental command than a physical act. I use triple tap for Smart Invert where text is difficult to read.
Hello. There's always something useful in the videos you post, even if indirectly. In this case I found a usefulness in assistive touch. Being the owner of an iPhone SE, instead of pressing the home button twice to invoke the task switcher, I set one press of the assistive touch button for that, two presses and long press for other operations that are useful to me. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
As usual your videos are simple & sophisticated, to the point, very useful and extremely educational... The main thing abt your videos is that you focus more on explaining properly rather than on other issues (like too much talking & drama & screen showoff) Please keep making more videos like these so people are benefitted. If something has to be understood better then we have to see your videos only. A request:- pls make a detailed video on Assistive touch and the ways we can customise it.
Like the tips.. the speak” option is now favorite. But... it is hard to follow your taps... since you don’t highlight where the tapping is going ..or arrow or so... have to pause and stare at the screen to find out how to do them
I added Mute to AssistiveTouch so I can go in and out of silent mode without using the side switch. Then I use double back tap to turn on and off AssistiveTouch.
I moved from android to Apple (iPad and iPhone13 Pro Max) purely based on several demos of the VoiceOver function plus the incomparable quality of the screens on Apple devices. I have macula degeneration which means the central vision, the high acuity high definition ‘pixels,’ in my retina have gone West. VoiceOver has been a must for me, maintaining a degree of self reliance. Having said that, I still struggle with iOS and I’m not fully happy with it in relation to android which I’ve used for many years. Because of this, I’m more used to Google apps and have installed many Google apps on the iOS devices I have. Unfortunately, a lot of the apps are chopped or cut down versions of the full android app. I Dessay this works in the opposite direction as well for those moving from iOS to Google or android but it would be nice to think that apps between systems would be fully functional on either system.. Many thanks for this channel it’s provided me with many assists over the last few months. Cheers
You created another informative video here. Very easy to follow. I knew of these already but it was a great refresher. I can imagine many scenarios where all of these features can be/should be used. BRAVO!
Very good video, thanks. What I have found with the double tap at the back it only works nicely if you don't use a cover for your phone. If you do it will take about 4 tries before it works.
My favorite feature is zoom, but not for zooming. Turn on the accessability shortcut, so you can triple click the home button to turn it on. Turn on zoom, and make sure full screen zoom is turned on,Oand set the filter to low light. Once it's on, triple tap with three fingers, then turn the zoom slider all the way down. Now turning it on dims the display, and you can make your screen darker than default
I got a bit lost in your process, however there may be a slightly easier and faster way to do this-go to accessibility use dessert function to look for smart invert. Tapping this will make it possible for your screen to be dark. This does not affect videos, but it does make it much more comfortable in looking at the screen for long periods of time. You might want to consider trying this.
@@chrisfitzchrisfitz5182 it's not dark mode. It dims your display, but more dim that it can by default. Some people do this using reduce white point as well, but reduce white point causes a slight shift in colours last I checked.
Back tap for screen shots has been invaluable since I got my XS. After saying that, I’ve just changed it to 3 taps (thank you!), cos I kept taking accidental screen shots when it was set to 2. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great tips, double tap with 3 fingers to turn on zoom doesn’t seem to want to work so I’m using voice, double tap for screenshots works when it wants to .
Thanks for this information. I have a question for you and the community. Sorry if this the wrong place for a question. I have two Bluetooth devices active when I'm in my car, my air-pods & my car audio. When I receive a call, I don't want to have to play with the phone to make it use my air-pods, cause that distracts me from driving. There ought to be a way to set a preference so that iPhone uses the air-pods when a call is active or being received. When I'm using a audio app, it can use the car audio. Is that possible or am I doomed to always fiddle with the screen while driving?
I turned on the VoiceOver option on my Apple Watch and that was interesting to play with and learn. Yes, I did have issues turning it off when I wanted to. It also ate my battery as well--because I was fiddling around with it so much in a short period of time. Later on, I had to reboot the watch because the battery ran down to 10% in half a day several times. That fixed whatever confusion I had caused in the watch.
Great videos, these are straight forward enough for me to pass onto my mum for her ipad use, as well as plenty for me to dig into. The gesture and accessibility features on the Apple watch are great too.
Help! I started to try the zoom function, now it’s so big I can only see a tiny part of my screen and I cant get back to settings because I can’t see the settings icon!
@@EllyMentryPapercrafting next time triple tap the home button or power button (depending on your phone model) this will turn your accessibility functions on or off. If you have multiple accessibility functions set it will give you a choice menu. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this. After surgery on my right hand I’ve been having a hard time taking screenshots. Now I can double tap the back to easily accomplish this.
I have added the double back tap to shut the iphone (not power down). I do this to less function the power button, as other phones I have had they become an issue as they age by wearing out. I have used on Android phones a soft button on the screen to achieve the same function, but have not seen anything for iphone to do this.
I’ve set BackTap under the Touch setting to bring up the Assistive Touch button with a double tap on the back of the phone, so I can bring it up and close it as and when I need it. Just means you don’t have to have it on the screen all the time.
I tried following these hints on my pro iPad, and they don’t track precisely. Could you either make an iPad video on this topic or even just point out the differences.
The double tap is unbelievable. Why didn't I know that. I have an Apple phone case and it works fine. I've set up bouble tap to to on the camera. Great video as usual. Keep it up/
I don't have an iPhone (yet) and don't need accessibility options, but damn your videos are good lol. Really well presented and it feels like not a second is wasted. Really helpful for me to get to know current iOS features, phone reviews are just useless for that.
Great video. I knew of many of the Accessibility features after losing some of my vision a few years ago. But I learned about more thanks to you. For example, the floating button for Assistive Touch is on my smaller, new iPad. No idea it could do all of the things. It was just there and I never explored it. So thanks! 😊
One thing was hoping you would have cover is "hot corners". Love to have that feature but can NOT make it work. Followed all the video instructions I have found but no luck. Same issue on my ipad as well as iphone(13). Am obviously missing something. Guess need to make a trip to the Apple store. Have any ideas? Thx.
Hi, I’m having trouble with setting up accessibility on phone. Have it activated but it’s difficult to see, how can I change this so I can see it more clearly?
Can Iphone accessibility do a simple action " Back " with 1 touch ? Million of action and buttons, but does not have a 1 touch " back " button when holding the phone with 1 hand? please advise.
Hello there I am totally blind I find this channel really good very informative and easy to understand keep up the great work my friend have a great great day keep well take care😊 18:09
Do you have any idea why when VoiceOver is on watching streams from BBC iPlayer or ITV? X a white square appears on the screen it creates a border around a 1/3 of the screen 😕
The guided access is really handy. Specially for kids, or when you don’t want your screen to turn off. But instead of typing in ur password to exit guided access, just double tap the power button & it will use Face ID.
Is there a reachability gesture that allows you to go back from right to left, that is the reason why I changed iphone pro max with pro, because it's is useless if you need to go back with One hand and you are right handed
`help! hit Zoom but scale was already set high now I cant access button to decrease. whaat can I do? Cant take photot to show you but date fills the screen
Well, if you use voiceover, you could double tap with two fingers to pause, or stop the music. But also works with hanging up calls if you are using voiceover.
You're sooooo smart! I had figured it out but that is great advice for a myriad of things since asking Siri will bypass most glitches I should think. Thank you!! I did: Up volume - side button, Down volume and hold side button. I will never forget to ask Siri - so much easier and not panic LoL
I cannot get out of the voiceover on my phone. In was trying to fix not hearing Siri. I was locked out of iPhone until I figured out I should top tjr line three times. But inputting the new Apple password is impossible.. it enters too many letters’ and then I can’t delete the letters. I just want to enter the new password that I changed on my iPad. Very frustrating.
Hi I just found your channel and I am a new subby! I really like your videos ❤. Can you tell me or provide a link for me as to where you got the thing that your laptop is sitting on? Thanks in advance 😊
COULD you help me with iPhone 11? Bought One year ago in California, sent to Armenia, completely untouched. I opened, and can't use it at all. I have charged it, several times, and it goes down in a day without being used at all. So this phone is not used at all, and I paid more than 600$ for it (including the tax), not to mention how much it cost me to get from California to Yerevan, Armenia. How can I ask them to change or fix it? Not used at all. Thanks.
To be honest, I subscribed to your channel for your clarity and accuracy of speech and pronunciation. I really love the way you deliver your presentation for every video.
I wish all u-tubers were as capable as you. I'm amazed at the clarity of your presentations. Impressive. John

Professional Presentational skills…I know as I have done a 1 week course which taught me exactly how..before that I could not teach to a group.
I don't have an iPhone (yet) and don't need accessibility options, but damn your videos are good lol. Really well presented and it feels like not a second is wasted. Really helpful for me to get to know current iOS features, phone reviews are just useless for that.
Great video. I knew of many of the Accessibility features after losing some of my vision a few years ago. But I learned about more thanks to you. For example, the floating button for Assistive Touch is on my smaller, new iPad. No idea it could do all of the things. It was just there and I never explored it. So thanks! 😊
One thing was hoping you would have cover is "hot corners". Love to have that feature but can NOT make it work. Followed all the video instructions I have found but no luck. Same issue on my ipad as well as iphone(13). Am obviously missing something. Guess need to make a trip to the Apple store. Have any ideas? Thx.
Thank you you’ve helped me with some of the things I find challenging as I’m not young😊
Hi, I’m having trouble with setting up accessibility on phone.
Have it activated but it’s difficult to see, how can I change this so I can see it more clearly?
Can Iphone accessibility do a simple action " Back " with 1 touch ? Million of action and buttons, but does not have a 1 touch " back " button when holding the phone with 1 hand? please advise.
Very nice, easy to understand presentation. Thanks for sharing.
Hello there I am totally blind I find this channel really good very informative and easy to understand keep up the great work my friend have a great great day keep well take care😊 18:09
Terrific video. Thanks
Do you have any idea why when VoiceOver is on watching streams from BBC iPlayer or ITV? X a white square appears on the screen it creates a border around a 1/3 of the screen 😕
diamond help. nice.
Thank you , I learned usefull information...Treat job.👍
Thanks for the great content
Turn on Sound recognition makes my phone really slow and laggy when im writing or launching apps
Been using this since iPhone 5 when they had many issues with the home button.
great clear and concise video. Well done.
Super Video!
Great stuff brother. Thanks very much. 🇳🇿NZ
The guided access is really handy. Specially for kids, or when you don’t want your screen to turn off.
But instead of typing in ur password to exit guided access, just double tap the power button & it will use Face ID.
Is there a reachability gesture that allows you to go back from right to left, that is the reason why I changed iphone pro max with pro, because it's is useless if you need to go back with One hand and you are right handed
`help! hit Zoom but scale was already set high now I cant access button to decrease. whaat can I do? Cant take photot to show you but date fills the screen
It’ll be nice to have the tapping option for pause or skip music
Well, if you use voiceover, you could double tap with two fingers to pause, or stop the music. But also works with hanging up calls if you are using voiceover.
OMGOD --- i tried the zoom and can't undo it now ... stuck here and can't turn to phone off either. Will NOT recognize 3 finger double tap!!!
Access Siri and say “restart phone” - it should restart with zoom off.
You're sooooo smart! I had figured it out but that is great advice for a myriad of things since asking Siri will bypass most glitches I should think. Thank you!! I did: Up volume - side button, Down volume and hold side button. I will never forget to ask Siri - so much easier and not panic LoL
I tried the zoom for typing but it doesn’t work. I have iPhone 12 mini running 15.7. Any ideas
Very helpful, thanks!
I cannot get out of the voiceover on my phone. In was trying to fix not hearing Siri. I was locked out of iPhone until I figured out I should top tjr line three times. But inputting the new Apple password is impossible.. it enters too many letters’ and then I can’t delete the letters. I just want to enter the new password that I changed on my iPad. Very frustrating.
your very help and i new iphone user
Can’t see the smart typing option on my iPhone X. It’s not there. Update: you have to set Follow Focus to see the option.
Where did you get the iPhone case?
wish for a universal back button 🙏
Hi I just found your channel and I am a new subby! I really like your videos ❤. Can you tell me or provide a link for me as to where you got the thing that your laptop is sitting on? Thanks in advance 😊
COULD you help me with iPhone 11? Bought One year ago in California, sent to Armenia, completely untouched. I opened, and can't use it at all. I have charged it, several times, and it goes down in a day without being used at all. So this phone is not used at all, and I paid more than 600$ for it (including the tax), not to mention how much it cost me to get from California to Yerevan, Armenia. How can I ask them to change or fix it? Not used at all. Thanks.
Q Can I make the keyboard larger? Ty! Great videos!
