Hi Simon,
the screen curtain is activated by doing a three finger triple tap, and to shut
it off, you do another three finger triple tap.
I don't know if the gesture is the same if you don't use accessibility, or if
you use Zoom alone, but I believe that the gesture switches from a three

What you're saying makes sense if the screen is actually turned off when
the screen curtain is on and requires less power than when the screen
curtain is turned off. I've heard though, that the privacy of the screen
curtain is handled by setting the background and the foreground colors
Christopher, what you are saying makes sense. The screen must be on in some
way in order to use gestures. I know a couple people who have developed
apps. I'll run this by them. That doesn't mean they are experts on screen

Apple officially told me, on more than one occasion, that the screen curtain
does not turn off the backlight. It merely adjusts the background and
foreground colours to black. So, the only benefit to power savings is that the
display is no longer making rapid alterations to match

Hi James,
I just turned the brightness up on my iPod Touch 5th gen to 100%.
I then activated the screen curtain with a triple 3-finger tap.
I then went into Brightness and wallpaper and the percentage of screen
brightness was still at 100%.
There might be a difference between iPod Touch 5th gen
Pardon me, I know this has come across the list before but I can't find the
e-mail that divulges how to toggle the screen curtain.
In fact, I thought there had been an e-mail with a number of gestures to be
used with Siri enabled but can't find that neither. Can anybody help
Hi, you could give the list archives a search and find the information
when you don't have a message. However to answer your question, the
gesture is a 3-finger triple tap. This will toggle the screen curtain on
or off.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
screen curtain is toggled on/off with a 3 finger triple tap. Things are added
to the app switcher just by opening them. Open mail, it ends up in your app

in your app switcher, move voiceover focus to an app

users with the screen curtain on? I've never been clear
on just what screen curtain does -- if it just turns off the display
or something more meaningful -- but either way would be curious if
this has translated into more battery life for the VO user over say
the iPad 2?

battery as the LTE
versions since if this is so theoretically this should result in better
battery life for a WiFi only model. Of course having WiFi on also does use
up a fair amount of battery life.
As far as the screen curtain is concerned there are a few people who claim
that it does improve battery

device at a given time.

Ricardo,
Turning screen brightness to 0% does not in fact turn off the display, at
least it doesn't on the iPhone. I can say this for sure because I usually
have my screen brightness turned to 0%, but I have often asked one of my
employees to look at something on the iPhone and then they usually
with screen curtain on?
one thing you can do is disable auto brightness, turn it down to 0% and
enable screen curtain, this gives the best result.
On my MacBook Air running like this, the battery life is rated at 7 hours,
however, I get 13+ out of it by doing this.

I heard there was a pretty lively debate on this list about whether the
screen curtain saves any battery or not. It was before I joined the
list, so I did some Googling around. Apple doesn't claim that this saves
any battery charge. Apple just says it's for security purposes.
Anecdotal evidence
is you hit it right on the
head. It may not make that much difference, but if one wishes to use it,
that's fine, and if not, that's fine also.
