I wouldn’t hold my breath expecting Apple to alter the behavior of the 2-finger Magic tap as you requested in your first message. I believe the gesture is performing as intended by Apple, and it is better for you to alter the method you use to start dictation. :) - Brad - On Nov 25, 2023,

Ah, the Start Dictation button. I used that years ago but forgot about the option by now. Might try that at least until Apple addresses the focus issue when sending messages that I mentioned in my first message on this thread. On Sat, Nov 25, 2023 at 08:41:15AM -0600, Brad Snyder wrote: Hello

Hello Doug, The solution to your dilemma is relatively simple. Rather than use the two finger magic tap to begin dictation, locate the microphone button on the bottom row of the keyboard. Once focus is on this button, do a one finger double tap to begin dictation. You may then use a two finger

Doug, I don’t know of any easier way to clear the playback queue. Some apps like Blind Square use this audio channel, but when it closes, it leafes it blank. Another messy solution… Dave Carlson Woodworker, Musician, Oregonian, Engineer, Farfar dgcarlson0...@gmail.com On Nov 24, 2023, at

Ah, good to know without making a mess to find out. :) Last question then: Is there an easier way to clear the playback controls from the lock screen? Currently I load and then close the Music app to get that done. On Fri, Nov 24, 2023 at 07:11:12PM -0800, Dave Carlson wrote: Doug, No.

Doug, No. Don’t delete the app. The unfortunate answer is that whatever media is remaining will. Play as default. You can see what that is if you go to the control center and swipe to media to see what’s I the queue. Only answer is to use another media (audio books, podcast, YouTube video,

Do you know if any possible good for me, or bad, would come from my deleting the Music app? That was my only guess before asking, but I haven't tried that yet and I also have never had reason to check what happens if I later want it back, unlikely though that probably is. On Fri, Nov 24, 2023

Kind of you to answer, and quickly indeed. I forgot the name "magic tap" somehow, but I do know it is a multi-function gesture. But my actual question is, can I somehow remove from its set of active functions the activation of the Music app and its controls, which happens even if I have no

Hi, The two finger gesture you are referring to is known as a magic tap. The reason for this is that it does several things. It will answer or hang up a call, it will start and stop dictation, and it will start and stop media from playing. If you want to use it for dictation you will need to

I am using iOS 16 because I have an iPhone X, but I think what follows also applies to iOS 17. As of an update or few ago, there is a sequence I commonly perform which results in surprise music; so I am wanting to know how to stop the double-finger double-tap from starting music playback. I
