Hello Karen,
I had this same issue on an iPhone10r and I did try using an external
braille display (Focus 14 Blue) in my case to try and enter the
passcode to unlock the phone. I was not able to do this and I had to
enter the passcode without sighted help using just the touch screen. I
also tried
Just explained it in the previous message:
Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, it is the second last item
from the bottom, only thing underneath it is "Per App Settings".
Instead of swiping right all the way through all the options you can do a
4-finger single tap on the bottom
Where would I go to check of the Shortcut is off that has been mentioned?

I don’t either, but after they defined the gesture, they duplicated it just
fine.
Of course, the ones on the accessibility line are not the same ones who are
actually doing the fixing and probably who already knew about this.

Then check Settings > Accessibility almost at the very bottom, when the
"Accessibility shortcut" is mentioned which is the triple press of the side

I thought some who have yet to update to iOS 16 might like reading about my

before starting the iOS update.

Joe, thanks for bringing this issue up. I have an iPhone 12 mini and I have

be fixed.

That was a good thought, but in my case, when I checked, the accessibility
shortcut was indeed on, and did not work at the boot tup until the passcode had
been entered.

Are you using the regular camera app or the code scanner option which you can

for me works better than using the regular camera app.

They know of all sorts of problems and maybe a fix has already been

The Shazam app not only identifies music but offers a list of the most
popular songs from the artist and similar sounding artists. The app
also provides a concert schedule of the artist, highlighting any
concerts happening near the end user. I find all of this information
quite valuable and
Several people have said that if you search for it in the app store, double tap
on the name, not the open button, in there is an update button.

I'm assuming you're in My Account in the app store. Double-tap on Purchased. I
think there will be a search field where you can type BARD. Be sure to use all

button.
Hope this helps.

No matter what I do, I cannot bring BARD 2.0 to the update screen. I've
tried refreshing the screen with a 3-finger swipe up (or is it swipe down, I
can never remember). Nothing happens. I think they need to fix it.
