Re: answering a call

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I actually made my double tap time faster not slower.  I had no
problems when double tapping when using my iPhone screen.  Of course,
I mostly use my Hable One with my phone, not the screen, but when I do
use the screen on my iPhone 13 pro max, I have no issues double
tapping and it working correctly.

Re: answering a call

[David Grossoehme]

This setting was set to 2.5 seconds with the ios17.1 update or the ios17 
version.  I'm not certain which one, but a lot of the users changed that 
setting.  I changed mine to 3.5 seconds and have had no problems since.

RE: answering a call

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Can you be more specific? How do you answer your call, do you use a 2-finger 
double tap (magic tap) or do you find and tap the "Answer" button?
I have an iPhone 13 Pro and both methods work for me.
If you are on iOS 17.1 or 17.2 have you increased the double tap response time 
a little? This really made a difference for me with the issue where a double 
tap was simply registered as a single tap meaning you try to double tap say a 
home screen icon to open an app but instead you would simply put focus 
elsewhere on the screen.
This is in Settings > Accessibility > Voiceover > Double Tap Time Out.
I believe the default is 0.3 seconds and I changed it to 0.5 seconds on the 
recommendation of somebody else (sorry, forgot who it was).

RE: Answering a call using AirPod pros

[Simon A Fogarty]

Try when you take the call,

Pressing the button on one of the pods  is how you can answer a call,

As for it going to your phone  rather than the pod,
Try taking the pods out of your ears and then put one back in to get it 
transfer back to your pods.
Then check your audio settings once you have a chance,

And if you have managed to answer a second call and you want to them return to 
the first call you may first have to hide the on-screen keypad.
Often after you finish the second call and that person hangs up that also hangs 
up the call on your device and all you have to do is find the Hold button which 
if you double tap it would reconnect you with the first person.
It might be called something slightly differently, I could check at work where

You have to find the button called "Hold and Accept" which would be near the 
bottom of the screen when a second call is coming in.
If you use a wired headset you can simply press the middle button of the remote 
to switch to the new call.
If I don't use a headset I dfirst tell the caller I am talking to that I have 
another call coming in and could he please hold on for a moment. Then I take 
the phone away from my face and give it a second so it switches to speakerphone.
I then touch near th ebottom of the screen until I find any of the buttons like 
End and Accept which would end the current call and pick up the new call, from 
there I flick right until I get to Hold and Accept. It is useful if you are 
with 2 friends or relatives to practice this, if you have a landline you could 
first call yourself from the landline and pick up the call, then ask just 1 
other person to call you as well. Then you have as long as you have until yoru 
voice mail kicks in to check the screen, if you have a sighted person around 
you could even ask them to tell you where the buttons are, e.g. bottom left, 
bottom right etc.

RE: Answering a call on the Apple watch

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Not that I know of, but I find it pretty straight forward, if the watch rings 
and I press the digital crown focus always seems to be on the Answer button and 
then I just double tap, it seems to work consistently.

Good morning,
Is there anyway to answer a call on the Apple watch other than double tapping 
the “answer” button on the screen?

I believe with the sighted folks to answer an incoming call, it's a single 
finger single tap on the answer button.

One thing to remember is that gestures are different with voiceover on than

i have to turn voiceover off to let anybody sighted do anything with it and,
yes, the screen curtain has to be off too! Unless you use earphones that
have a built-in control or allow you to answer by voice, I don't know of an
alternative, and of course if somebody is just picking up your phone and
answering it for you, the other person isn't going to be using headphones.
Even though I am a long-time iPhone user, I find that I tend to forget and
double tap with only one finger, and then I yell at my phone because it
activated something else. A two-finger double tap anywhere should answer the
call but if it isn't a two-finger double tap, unless you are on the answer

 On my phone there is an answer button that appears on the screen when a call 
 comes in. Of course I guess if you have your screen curtain turned on this 
 could be a problem for a sighted person trying to answer your phone.

Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I'll offer this suggestion 
anyway.  My phone is in an Otterbox Defender case, which makes things a bit 
easier perhaps.  Anyway, when a call comes in, I immediately put my right 
index finger at or very near  the lower righthand corner of the screen, 
where I'll typically hear VoiceOver say slide to answer. I hold my index 
finger there and do a split-tap. If you're unfamiliar with the split-tap, 
you locate the item in question, hold your finger there and tap elsewhere, 
anywhere on the screen. This works better than 90 percent of the time for 
me.  The double-tap, especially when I'm walking around or doing something 
else when the call comes in, seems to offer me much better control. Hope 
this helps.


Tom

Hi Gena,

I would suggest you ask somebody to call you. Use the earpods that came 
with

your iPhone and press the middle button (the slightly resessed area) to
answer the call and see if that works. If you can talk to the person and 
the

call does not hang up you at least know your phone works fine.

If you have a landline you can call yourself or, if not, maybe you can ask 
a

friend to call you and then practice answering without the earpods.

You can answer either by doing a 2-finger double tap anywhere on the 
screen
when your phone is ringing or you can put your finger on the home key, 
then
slide it up a bit until you find the answer button and double tap with 
one

finger. It's all just practice.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5

Hello All,

Sorry, a bit behind with my mail.

No that's it, Any slightest touch of the screen when the phone is locked 
ends the call. When it's in my hand-bag or pocket I can't avoid touching 
the screen.


If the phone isn't locked, I can swipe as much as I like between the 
decline and answer buttons to make my selection. But if it is locked I'm 
done for.


David: Here in the UK, on O2, the power button doesn't do anything. As I 
accidentally tried that owing to had used an Android previously and 
didn't realise what I was doing. Habit is useful at times but not at others.

RE: Answering a call on a iPhone 5

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Gena,

I would suggest you take this phone back to Apple since this sounds like a
major defect. For one thing, if the screen is really locked you should be
able to touch it all day long without any sort of reaction from the phone,
after all, locked is locked and you lock it to prevent it from doing
anything. Even if Voiceover is off touching the screen when the phone is
locked won't do anything until you press either the home or power button. A
single press will bring up the Slide to unlock control and the camera
button at the bottom right of the screen, a double press of the home key
will also bring up playback controls, Previous, Play/Pause and Next as well
as the Airplay button if you are in range of an airplay device and the
volume control.

Good luck,
Sieghard

Re: Answering a call on a iPhone 5

[David Chittenden]

Two finger double tap answers and ends phone calls. You can practice the 
gesture in the practice area - settings, general, accessibility, voice-over, 
practice area. This is how I always answer my iPhone.

Oh, do not press the power button whilstill the iPhone is ringing. Pressing 
power button automatically sends the call to voice mail.

slide to high and you hear the caller's name or phone number, flick right
twice, first time it will go to Decline, second time to Answer. If you want
the Call Options flick right once if you are on Answer or twice if you are
on Decline.

 

I highly recommend you use your landline or, if you don't have one, visit a
friend or family and ask them to call you repeatedly to become familiar with
the layout and practice this. 

If you want to use the Call Options to Reply with Message, for example, you
don't actually have to have this all done before it goes to Voicemail. As
long as you get to it you can finish making your selections even if the
caller has already been forwarded to Voicemail.

Since I know that after I double tap on Call Options focus is placed on
Reply with Message, all I do is double tap Call Options, then I double tap
again and for me I am always placed on the very top which is the common
heading Can't talk right now. Then I can flick right to my first custom

As soon as the phone rings you only have 3 things on the screen:

 

The caller’s identity, either their name if they are in your contacts or the 
phone number.

 

A large “Slide to answer” control

This si super easy to find as it takes up the entire bottom area above the home 
key exactly like the “Slide to Unlock” control. You can just put your finger on 
the home key, then slide up a bit and you will hear “Slide to Answer”, now 
double tap anywhere and the call is answered. If you want to hear the caller’s 
identity again, do the same and when you hear “Slide to Answer” just do a quick 
single finger flick left and Voiceover reads the caller’s identity/phone 
number. Do a single finger flick right and you are on the “Call Options” button 
which I explain next.

 

Third and this is new in iOS 6 is the “Call Options” button. If you double tap 
it you get a new screen with the following 6 items from top to bottom:

 

1.   Caller’s identity

2.   Decline button

3.   Answer button

4.   Call Options button (this will hide that screen again if you tap it)

 

5.   Reply with Message button (I am always placed on this by default it 
seems after I double tap Call Options”

If you double tap you get to choose 1 of 3 pre-programmed messages and the 
caller will get a text message with the text of whichever message you pick. You 
can configure what these messages say in “Settings”, “Phone” and “Reply with 
message”. All 3 messages start with “Can’t talk right now” and then whichever 
custom text you set up, e.g. Please call me back in 10 minutes. Thank You.”

 

6.   Remind Me Later button

Double tap this and you can choose from the following:

1 hour

When I leave

When I get Home

When I get to Work

I assume the “When I get Home” or “When I get to Work” options of course depend 
on whether you set up your home and work address as the phone has to know who 
you are and what these locations are. The “When I leave” would most likely 
refer to wherever you are currently and the geofence would bbe set up based on 
your current GPS location. The “In 1 hour” reminder is of course a simple time 
based reminder, the others are location based reminders and you want to keep 
this in mind because as soon as you set up a location based reminder your phone 
constantly monitors your location and this will use more battery.

 

OK, second scenario is that your phone is unlocked and it rings. Now instead of 
one large “Slide to Answer” along the bottom you have “Decline from the left 
edge to about the middle above the home key and “Answer” from the home key to 
the right and on the very right is the “Call Options” button. Your caller 
identification is displayed above.

 

It is once again very easy. Put your finger on the home key and slide up and to 
the right just a bit, maybe towards the 1 o’clock position. This will put you 
right on the Answer button. Should you for some reason are on “Decline”, just 
do a quick single finger flick right and you are on Answer. If you slide to 
high and you hear the caller’s name or phone number, flick right twice, first 
time it will go to Decline, second time to Answer. If you want the Call Options 
flick right once if you are on Answer or twice if you are on Decline.

 

I highly recommend you use your landline or, if you don’t have one, visit a 
friend or family and ask them to call you repeatedly to become familiar with 
the layout and practice this. 

If you want to use the Call Options to Reply with Message, for example, you 
don’t actually have to have this all done before it goes to Voicemail. As long 
as you get

Barbara,

 

If all they want to do is answer and they have problems with the slide
gesture is also is just a matter of practice, after all, it's the same
gesture they have to use to unlock the phone. I usually double tap, but the
slide gesture works fine in Voiceover and the main thing is to really start
on the very left and slide across to the very right in a straight line.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Thanks for that detailed info. I was asking for a sighted person who was
finding it difficult to slide to answer and does not use a headset. I think
slide would be easier for them than tapping options to be given more
options. Shame you can't answer with voice though.

Hi Barbara,

 

You can't answer by voice, of course you can answer very easily if your
headset is connected by pressing the answer/hang-up button which is also the
Play/Pause button when you are not on a call. It is the slightly resessed
middle area on the headsets remote.

 

I rarely answer with a 2-finger double tap since it's very easy to find the
Slide to Answer control.

 

The choices are slightly different depending on whether your phone is locked
when the call comes in or whether you are doing something and it's unlocked.

Keep in mind that you can press either the volume up or down key when it is
ringing and this will mute the ringer which of course makes it a lot easier
to hear Voiceover.

If you hear the caller Id and decide you don't want to take the call you can
press the Power button twice quickly and that will decline the call and send
it to Voicemail.

 

OK, so here is what I do when the phone is locked:

 

As soon as the phone rings you only have 3 things on the screen:

 

The caller's identity, either their name if they are in your contacts or the
phone number.

Thank You.
