Hi. My theory is, since Apple made a 3-D touch gesture to be able to switch to your most recently used app, and they could not get that to work with voiceover active, They implemented the four finger swipe. Sent from my iPhone 6S Plus > On Mar 27, 2016, at 10:33 AM, Carter Temm

Hi all, I said last week that the four-finger swipe to switch apps, new in iOS9.3, is an iOS command and thus would not show up in the VO gesture practice system. I was wrong. It seems to be a command specific to VO, as sighted family members are unable to use it and I can't use it if I turn VO

For me it also worked that way, initially I was not using all 4 fingers. then I tried the vertical gesture and even tried using my thumb instead of pinky, which also works btw. Finally I hit the sweet spot and now seem to have the kinaesthetic memory and can do it easily. Jenine Stanley

You swipe left and right. I finally did get it to work but for me it’s going to take a fair amount of practice. It’s really cool when it works though because it just opens the previous or next app without going to the app switcher. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com > On Mar 23, 2016, at

but it's not a VoiceOver gesture, so it wouldn't be recognized there at all. It's a universal gesture that works with or without VoiceOver being active. In fact, the only place (other than on your Home screen) it likely would NOT work is in Practice Mode, because that mode catches every gesture

It allows you, from an open app, to move back and forth through your other open apps as you would with the app switcher. Again, it’s not something for which there is no other gesture or way to access but something that’s pretty nifty and more like a multi-tasking feel if you will. I was all
